Das Werk Wilhelm Lehmbrucks : Duisburger Museumsverein
A 1920 German catalogue of sculptor Wilhelm Lehmbruck's work, published in Duisburg by the Duisburger Museumsverein and the Niederrheinische Druckerei und Verlagsanstalt, with an essay by August Hoff for museum visitors and art readers. The plate shows a loose, dark-toned ink or charcoal study of a seated female nude, twisting at the waist with arms raised to the chest, rendered in soft washes against a shadowed background. A designer might take its gestural shading and heavy-to-pale tonal range as a model for expressive figure drawing.
