This charcoal drawing titled "Arbeiter, sein Mittagbrot verzehrend" (Worker Eating His Lunch), created by German Impressionist Max Liebermann, portrays a poignant moment in the life of a working-class couple. The sketch, executed with loose and gestural lines, captures the couple's simple meal amidst a bustling construction site. The use of charcoal highlights the stark contrast between the laborers' worn clothes and the vibrant activity surrounding them. The drawing offers a glimpse into the lives of everyday working people, a theme often explored by Liebermann in his art. This piece, now housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies the artist's keen observation of social realities and his commitment to capturing the human condition with authenticity.
