"Female Nude Defending Herself" is a painting by the German artist Lovis Corinth, created in 1910. Corinth was a prominent figure in the German art scene during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his contributions to both Impressionism and Expressionism. This work is one of his many explorations of the human figure, a recurring theme throughout his career.

The painting depicts a nude woman in a defensive posture, her arms raised as if to shield herself. The composition is dynamic, with the figure's tense pose and the dramatic use of light and shadow contributing to a sense of vulnerability and emotional intensity. Corinth's brushwork is vigorous and expressive, a hallmark of his mature style. The painting reflects his interest in capturing the raw, unidealized human form, a departure from the more polished depictions of nudes common in earlier art movements.

"Female Nude Defending Herself" is often interpreted as an example of Corinth's ability to convey psychological depth through his art. The woman's defensive stance invites viewers to consider the narrative behind the image, though Corinth himself did not provide explicit explanations for the scene. This ambiguity is characteristic of his work, leaving room for individual interpretation.

The painting was created during a period of significant personal and artistic growth for Corinth. In 1901, he had moved to Berlin, where he became a leading member of the Berlin Secession, an influential group of artists who sought to challenge academic traditions in art. By 1910, Corinth had fully embraced a more expressive and experimental approach to painting, as seen in this work.

Today, "Female Nude Defending Herself" is recognized as an important example of Corinth's oeuvre and his contribution to modern art. The painting is held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Leipzig, Germany (Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig), where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.
