Zwei Frauen (Two Women) [p. 40] 

This pencil drawing, "Zwei Frauen (Two Women)," is by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann. The sketch is a simple yet evocative depiction of two women. The artist's signature style is evident in the bold, expressive lines that define the figures' faces, suggesting a sense of emotional intensity and perhaps even a hint of anxiety. It's a small but powerful work that underscores the emotional depth and complexity of human relationships. The quick lines and gestural forms in this drawing speak to Beckmann's masterful use of line as a powerful visual language.
