Lovis Corinth (1858 Tapiau, East Prussia – Zandvoort 1925) Faun and Nymph Watercolor with white overpainting on vellum. 1920. Approx. 31.5 x 25 cm. Signed and dated lower right. On the reverse, a pencil sketch of the same motif viewed from the opposite direction, as well as color samples. Lovis Corinth frequently drew upon classical mythological subjects in his work, reinterpreting them through his distorted painterly perception. This late work, for example, depicts the violent abduction of a nymph by a faun. The loose, sketch-like style suggests a preliminary study, possibly for the series of eight lithographs on Greek mythology created around the same time. Provenance: Weinmüller/Neumeister, Munich, Nov. 5, 1965, Lot 59; Private collection, Hesse, acquired from the aforementioned seller; KARL&FABER, June 10, 2016, Lot 425; Private collection, Bavaria, acquired from the aforementioned seller. Taxation: subject to margin scheme (VAT: Margin Scheme).
