Lesender Mann im Café (Reading Man in a Café) [p. 22] 

"Lesender Mann im Café (Reading Man in a Café)" is a pencil drawing by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann. The sketch depicts a man in profile, wearing glasses, sitting in a cafe, reading. The drawing is characterized by Beckmann's distinctive style of bold lines and simplified forms, emphasizing the psychological state of the figure. The sketch is likely a preparatory study for a larger painting. The informal and gestural nature of the lines reflects Beckmann's interest in capturing the essence of his subjects through quick, spontaneous sketches.
