Architektur by Max Beckmann

Though titled 'Architecture,' this expressive sketch is dominated by a cat curled up in a relaxed pose, rendered with loose, energetic lines typical of the Expressionist movement. The background features faint, grid-like structures that suggest a window or building facade, creating a contrast between the organic animal and the rigid environment. A curious detail is the date '1959' signed in the corner; since Max Beckmann died in 1950, this attribution presents a historical puzzle, suggesting this might be a mislabeled work or a study by a different hand capturing that same bold, gestural style.
