In 'The Sin', 1893, Heinrich Lossow presents a striking example of late 19th-century German symbolism. The painting captures a woman in despair, embodying themes of guilt, temptation, and human weakness. With her body language conveying inner conflict, she stands isolated in the somber atmosphere, a victim of her own 'sin'. Lossow's use of light and shadow suggests entrapment, enhancing the religious and moral undertones that permeate this poignant portrayal of human experience.
