Drei Frauen (Three Women) [p. 37] 1944 - 1949

"Drei Frauen (Three Women)" is a pen-and-ink drawing on paper created by German artist Max Beckmann between 1944 and 1949. The drawing features three female figures, their bodies drawn with gestural lines and a sense of energy. Beckmann is known for his expressive and often distorted figures, and this sketch exhibits his characteristic style. The fragmented and gestural quality of the work reflects a sense of immediacy and emotional intensity, common themes in Beckmann's later works. While the composition and subject matter are ambiguous, the drawing suggests a poignant and unsettling mood.
