This sketch, "Notizen und kleine Skizze (Notations and Small Sketch) [p. 40]," is a work by German Expressionist painter Max Beckmann. The sketch is a loose and gestural drawing of a figure in a dynamic pose, possibly a study for a larger work. Characteristic of Beckmann's work, the drawing exhibits a sense of urgency and emotional intensity. The artist's distinct style, marked by bold lines and expressive forms, is evident in this preliminary sketch.
