Geometrische Skizze (Geometric Sketch) [p. 1]

Max Beckmann

1884

This is a photograph of a worn and slightly damaged book cover. The cover is primarily brown in color and shows signs of aging with various scuff marks, stains, and slight tears especially along the edges. The left edge shows a black vertical strip. There are faint, partially illegible markings or stamps in a dull red or purple color dispersed across the surface. The corners appear frayed, revealing the material beneath, and the right edge appears to be slightly bent.

The image shows a sketch on a piece of paper with three full-body figures in different poses. The first figure is on the left, in profile with a hand raised to their face. They wear a long robe and appear barefoot. The middle figure stands upright with raised arms, also wearing a long robe. The third figure lies horizontally on the page. All figures wear head coverings and intricate garments with geometric patterns. The sketch is in pencil on aged paper with handwritten annotations, and there are no visible objects or jewelry.
