Schafender Tiger (Sleeping Tiger) [p. 38] 

"Schafender Tiger (Sleeping Tiger)" is a pencil sketch by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann. The small-scale drawing, likely a study for a larger work, features a reclining tiger, captured in gestural lines. Beckmann was known for his bold and dynamic use of line, as seen in this sketch, creating a sense of energy and movement even within a seemingly still subject. The sketch exemplifies Beckmann's interest in exploring the animalistic aspects of human nature, a theme he would later revisit in his iconic paintings.
