Focus on The Night (Beckmann) and explore the Interpretation.
Three men appear to invade a small, cramped room, where they terrorize the scene.  To the left, a man is hanged by one of the intruders, and his arm twisted by another.  A woman, seemingly the man's wife, is bound to one of the room's supports after having been raped. To the right, the child is about to be taken away by one of the intruders—note the feet near the top right hand corner. Beckmann used himself as model for the man in the noose. He also modeled the woman and child after his own wife and son.
