Lesende 1890

"Lesende" (Reading) is a pencil drawing by German artist Max Liebermann, created in 1890. The artwork depicts a figure in a seated pose, engaged in reading. The simple, yet elegant composition, emphasizes the act of reading through the figure's focused posture and the presence of a vase of flowers in the background, a common motif in Liebermann's work. This drawing showcases Liebermann's signature style, using loose, expressive lines to capture the essence of his subject.
