Studie zu Sonntagnachmittag in Laren 1882

This study, created by Max Liebermann in 1882, is a preliminary sketch for his renowned painting "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Laren". Liebermann, a prominent German Impressionist painter, captured the essence of outdoor life in Laren with loose, gestural brushstrokes. The sketch depicts a group of figures standing in a park, likely in the town's main square, providing a glimpse into the social interactions of the time. The use of brown ink and the focus on the figures’ postures highlight the artist's interest in capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life.
