Self-Portrait (Selbstbildnis) [p. 3] 

This is a simple, gestural sketch of a self-portrait by Max Beckmann, a prominent German Expressionist painter and printmaker. The work is a quick, expressive study in ink, capturing the essence of Beckmann's distinct style. The sketch features a close-up view of Beckmann's head and hand, executed with bold lines and a sense of immediacy. The stark simplicity of the composition highlights the artist's self-awareness and introspective nature.
