Schlafender Mann (Sleeping Man) [p. 43] 

Max Beckmann's "Schlafender Mann (Sleeping Man)" is a pencil sketch depicting a man in a sleeping position. Executed in a gestural style, the drawing captures the essence of a person in repose, highlighting the contours of the figure through expressive lines. The sketch is a testament to Beckmann's artistic process, demonstrating his use of quick, gestural strokes to capture the form and essence of his subject. This informal drawing, likely a study for a larger work, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative thinking and his ability to express profound emotions through simple means.
