Schlafender Mandrill (Sleeping Mandrill) [p. 24] 

"Schlafender Mandrill" (Sleeping Mandrill), a pencil sketch by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann, portrays a stylized, sleeping mandrill. The quick, gestural lines and expressive hatching, characteristic of Beckmann's work, create a sense of immediacy and energy despite the animal's repose. The drawing's rough, unfinished aesthetic further highlights Beckmann's exploration of form and movement. This sketch exemplifies Beckmann's fascination with animal subjects, often employed in his works to symbolize human emotions and instincts.
