ArtistA previously unknown painting by Max Beckmann
A group of people are gathered together, their faces painted in a style reminiscent of German Expressionism. The scene is dark, with somber tones and a hint of unease. Two women are prominent in the foreground. The woman on the left has dark hair, styled in a bob, and is wearing a black strapless top or dress. She looks directly at the viewer with a neutral expression, her lips painted red, and her cheeks flushed. She sits at a red table with a glass of water, her hand resting on some papers. The woman next to her has lighter hair, pulled back, and is wearing a red strapless dress. She has a pearl necklace around her neck and also looks at the viewer with a similar composed expression. Her face is pale with touches of red on her lips and cheeks. Behind them, multiple men are depicted, their faces somewhat distorted and serious. They are dressed in dark suits and ties, their eyes often looking off to the side or directly forward with an intense, almost scrutinizing gaze. The overall mood is tense and serious, with a sense of observation and perhaps judgment.
