Mehrfigurige Szene (Figural Scene) [p. 3] 

"Mehrfigurige Szene (Figural Scene) [p. 3]" is a preliminary sketch by German Expressionist painter Max Beckmann. The drawing is composed of a series of gestural lines that are densely packed and interwoven to create a sense of depth and movement. The subject of the work appears to be a group of figures in an undefined space, suggesting Beckmann's interest in exploring human relationships and the complexities of the human condition. This sketch, done in ink on paper, demonstrates Beckmann's stylistic approach to drawing and painting.
