Battenbergs 1916

"Battenbergs" is a 1916 etching by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann. The artwork depicts two figures, an older man and a younger woman, in a close-up composition. The stark, expressive lines and dramatic use of light and shadow characteristic of Beckmann's style create a sense of unease and tension. The work is a testament to Beckmann's exploration of human emotion and his ability to capture the complexities of the human condition. The etching is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
