More than a dozen figures crowd this canvas. Four appear to be seated around a table in the center and the rest appear to be standing elsewhere in the room. The figures’ features are abstracted, exaggerated, and outlined with thick black lines filled with a range of shades of muted russet, turquoise, pink, and green. The black frame of what appears to be a French door interrupts the right third of the composition. — Max Beckmann

The majority of this portrait-oriented canvas is an uninterrupted expanse of matte black. In the bottom third of the canvas, a mixed-media element in shallow relief extends from the left edge. This element appears to have a bumpy, ridged texture in places. There are roughly defined and thinly applied patches of dark yellow-brown paint that appear to overlay the relief element. — Antoni Tàpies
