Verworfenes weibliches Gesicht (Sketch of a Woman's Face) [p. 2] 

This sketch by Max Beckmann, titled "Verworfenes weibliches Gesicht (Sketch of a Woman's Face)", depicts a woman's face in a gestural and expressive style. The quick, loose lines and the emphasis on the profile, particularly the nose, suggest a sense of urgency and immediacy, characteristic of Beckmann's drawing style. The sketch's small size and the use of graphite on paper point to the informal and spontaneous nature of the piece. This work likely served as a study for a larger painting or drawing, offering a glimpse into Beckmann's creative process.
