Death Visits the Strucks (Death and the Couple) (Tod bei Strucks [Tod und Paar]) from Dance of Death (Totentanz)

Corinth, Lovis

The image is an artistic etching showing an abstract representation of a person with a full torso. The individual's head is tilted back and turned slightly to the side, with one hand raised to their forehead. The detail is focused on the torso and arms, with facial features being indistinct. The person's hair appears dark and loosely rendered. The figure is nude, and there are no visible accessories or objects. The background consists of dark, textured shading that contrasts with the light-colored paper.

Der Kuss (The Kiss)

Corinth, Lovis

The image is a sketch of a person's bust, focusing on the head and shoulders. The person is facing slightly to the side with their gaze directed upward. Their facial features, including large eyes and a prominent nose, are depicted with strong shadowing and lines. The dark, textured hair appears almost unruly. Light sketching suggests loose clothing draped over the shoulders. In the background, there is a skull rendered in a similar sketch style above and behind the person's head. Heavy shading and cross-hatching blend the background into the person's form, creating depth and intensity in the artwork.

Death and the Old Man (Tod und Greis) from Dance of Death (Totentanz)

Corinth, Lovis

This is a drawing featuring abstract forms that suggest human caricatures with exaggerated features and dynamic poses. On the left is a whimsical face with a mischievous expression, crafted with bold, angular lines. In the center, a figure appears to be in motion, with limbs extended in a dance-like posture. To the right, two more ambiguous figures are depicted. One has a rounder form and robe-like garment, while the other has an oversized head and large eyes, seemingly observing from the background. The drawing style is loose and expressive, with quick, gestural marks giving a sense of lively interaction among the figures.
