About the piece
Painted in 1910, this expressive oil portrait by Max Beckmann depicts his first wife, Minna "Mink" Tube. The composition is defined by broad, confident brushstrokes and a somber, atmospheric palette that makes the vibrant violet of the shawl a brilliant focal point against the textured gray background.
