Two Actresses in the Dressing Room is a 1946 oil by Max Beckmann, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting shows two women in a dressing room. One woman sits on a chair, wearing a crown and a green dress, and holds a red book. The other woman stands in front of a mirror, wearing an orange dress and a white headscarf, and touches her face. The background is a beige wall with some dark shapes. The women's bodies are depicted in a simplified, abstracted way, with bold lines and bright colors. The painting has a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation. The artist who created this work is Max Beckmann.
