Kind in den Dünen 1907

"Kind in den Dünen" (Child in the Dunes) is a 1907 oil painting by Max Liebermann. The painting depicts a single child, a young girl, standing in a field of dunes under a cloudy sky. The girl is dressed in a white dress and a straw hat, and she is holding a small white flower. The painting's Impressionistic style, evident in the loose brushstrokes and bright colors, is characteristic of Liebermann's work. The scene captures a moment of quiet contemplation and the beauty of the natural world. The painting is considered a quintessential example of Liebermann's plein air paintings, which depict outdoor scenes and capture the effects of light and atmosphere.
