Im Garten 1920

"Im Garten" (1920) is a charcoal drawing by German artist Max Liebermann (1847-1935), known for his Impressionist-inspired depictions of everyday life. This sketch, likely a preliminary study for a larger work, captures a fleeting moment in a garden setting. The loose, gestural lines suggest the rapid movement of Liebermann's hand as he captures the figures, furniture, and foliage. The composition focuses on two figures seated under a tree, their forms rendered with a sense of immediacy and informality, characteristic of Liebermann's style. The work reflects his keen observation of the natural world and his ability to imbue everyday scenes with a sense of warmth and intimacy.
