drei zu Tisch sitzende Frauen (Three at a Table) [p. 45] 1927

This pencil sketch, "drei zu Tisch sitzende Frauen (Three at a Table)," created in 1927, is a work by the renowned German Expressionist painter Max Beckmann. The drawing depicts a minimalist scene of three women sitting at a table, emphasizing the figures’ faces and a sense of intimacy. Beckmann, known for his powerful depictions of the human condition, uses a simplified, gestural style to convey a sense of isolation and emotional tension. This sketch, with its focus on the human form and the subtle interplay of figures, is a characteristic example of Beckmann's artistic style.
