Shoemaker 1881

"Shoemaker" (1881) by German artist Max Liebermann depicts a scene of two individuals working in a shoemaking workshop. The painting, which is a characteristic example of Liebermann's Realist style, focuses on the figures, capturing their daily labor with a sense of realism. The scene, illuminated by natural light streaming through the window, creates a sense of depth and texture, emphasizing the working-class subject matter. Liebermann's art often sought to portray the lives of everyday people, capturing the beauty and dignity of labor.
