Haare der Frau auf S. 77 (Hair Bun of Figure in p. 77) [p. 76] 1927

"Haare der Frau auf S. 77 (Hair Bun of Figure in p. 77) [p. 76]" is a pencil sketch by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann, created in 1927. This is a preliminary study for Beckmann's larger painting, "The Departure". The simple yet expressive lines of the sketch capture the essence of a figure's bun, emphasizing the artist's mastery of capturing form and movement through minimalist means. This small sketch serves as a testament to Beckmann's rigorous creative process, offering a glimpse into the artist's initial exploration of his subject matter.
