Girl with fan and carnations
1897
Lovis Corinth captures a bold, unapologetic woman in this 1897 portrait, her curly hair framing a face that stares directly at the viewer with quiet confidence. She holds bright red carnations in one hand and a vibrant, patterned fan in the other, while a swath of green fabric loosely drapes across her chest. The thick, energetic brushstrokes are a hallmark of Corinth's style, bridging the gap between Impressionism and the raw emotion of Expressionism. It's a striking study of character, where the flowers and fan feel less like props and more like extensions of her lively personality.
