Weibliche Badende (Swimmer) [p. 7] 

This is a pencil sketch by German artist Max Beckmann, created sometime during his lifetime (1884-1950). The piece, titled “Weibliche Badende (Swimmer) [p. 7]” depicts a single figure of a woman in a swimsuit, walking towards the viewer. The artist’s characteristic bold, expressive lines and the simplified form of the figure are apparent in this drawing, which may have been a study for a larger painting. The sketch shows Beckmann’s interest in the human form and its movement, a recurring theme in his work.
