The artwork, titled “Elisabeth at the Table,” is a portrait created by August Macke in 1909. This piece falls under the Fauvism art movement and measures 22 x 16 cm. It is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork portrays a seated individual at a table, likely engaged in some activity. The composition is characterized by vibrant and contrasting colors typical of Fauvism, with bold dashes of green, yellow, blue, and red. The figures are somewhat abstracted and lack detailed facial features, which is a stylistic choice that focuses on color harmony and the emotional impact of the scene rather than realistic representation. The use of thick brush strokes and strong outlines creates a dynamic sense of movement and depth. The background melds into the subject, forming a cohesive, vibrant tableau that invites the viewer to ponder the scene’s emotional resonance rather than its literal components.
