Carl Duisberg 1909

Max Liebermann's 1909 portrait, *Carl Duisberg*, depicts the industrialist in a realistic style typical of Liebermann's work. The painting features a close-up of Duisberg, seated and dressed in a formal suit, emphasizing his stature and presence. Liebermann's characteristic use of loose brushstrokes and a muted palette contributes to the work's realistic depiction, capturing the subject's individual features and conveying a sense of depth. This oil-on-canvas painting is a fine example of Liebermann's transition from Impressionism to a more personal style that blended realism and modern elements.
