Max Beckmann's "männliche Bildnisstudie (Male Portrait Study)" is a quick, expressive sketch of a man's head in profile. Executed with a few swift strokes, Beckmann captures the essence of the sitter's face, emphasizing his strong jawline and prominent nose. This study is a characteristic example of the German Expressionist style, which is known for its emotional intensity, bold lines, and simplified forms.
