LIEBERMANN, Max
(b. 1847, Berlin, d. 1935, Berlin)

In the Field

c. 1890
Pastel on paper, 54 x 79 cm
The Hermitage, St. Petersburg

A member of a wealthy family, Liebermann devoted the first part of his career to simple subjects from the lives of peasants and craftsmen. This pastel is one of the last in this series. In the 1890s, he moved from social subject matter to joyful, light-filled landscape and interior.
