About the piece

This 1919 oil portrait by Lovis Corinth depicts the musician Andreas Weißgerber mid-performance. Corinth's late-career style is evident in the thick, expressive paint application and the dramatic play of light across the sitter's face and formal attire, creating a work of intense psychological and musical presence that feels both modern and timeless.
