This pencil sketch, "älterer Mann in Rückenansicht" (Elderly Man Seen from Behind), is by the German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann. The drawing features a close-up view of an older man's profile, seen from behind. The subject's head, ear, and neck are emphasized, with visible wrinkles and lines. Beckmann's style is characterized by bold lines and a sense of emotional intensity. This sketch likely represents a study for a larger work.
