About the piece

This 1908 oil painting by Lovis Corinth captures the celebrated actress Tilla Durieux in a moment of vibrant movement. Adorned in a heavily fringed floral shawl and wielding castanets, the subject is rendered with the bold, fluid brushwork characteristic of Corinth's mature style, brilliantly bridging the gap between German Impressionism and Expressionism.
