The occupation with people and space, which dominates Schlemmer's œuvre , becomes obvious in this pencil drawing. Sketched figures are staggered in different motions and postures, forming a pyramid-like composition. However, different from the walking figures, such as the "Fünf Männern im Raum", these six seem to pause. The composition is determined by calmness and silent observation. [KH]

In good condition. Slightly discolored. Left and upper edge slightly irregular. Lower edge with small split and discernible trace of rubbing. Drawing on verso minimally pushing through to recto.
