Max Beckmann
"Siesta"
Descrizione
Beckmann dedicated this sheet to Mrs Glaser, the wife of the well-known art historian and Beckmann collector Curt Glaser (1879-1943). It is possible that this etching served as a model for Beckmann's 1931 oil painting with the same title (cf. WVZ Göpel 353), which shows Max Beckmann and his second wife Mathilde von Kaufmann (known as "Quappi").
