Lady with Veil (Charlotte Berend-Corinth)
1910
Lovis Corinth captures his wife and former student, Charlotte Berend, in this intimate 1910 etching. She wraps a sheer veil around her head, her hands busy adjusting the fabric while her gaze meets ours with a quiet, direct intensity. Corinth was known for his vigorous, almost aggressive line work, and you can see that energy here in the scratchy, energetic strokes that define her face and hands. Charlotte was his favorite model and muse, appearing in hundreds of his works, often blurring the line between his personal life and his art.
