Max Beckmann

Artist, German, 1884 - 1950

The image shows a large curtain to the right, with multiple stylized glasses in the center. There is a railing with decorative swirls in the background. The color palette is monochrome, with pencil sketches on neutral toned paper. In the foreground, the glasses are arranged on a surface or table, with a plate outlined below them. The sketches of the railing and curtains create a sense of perspective framing the central objects.
