Spielende Kinder am Strand 1898

Max Liebermann’s 1898 painting "Spielende Kinder am Strand" depicts a group of children playing on a sandy beach. The impressionistic style of the painting is characterized by loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the fleeting light and movement of the scene. The children’s figures are partially obscured, their clothes and forms dissolving into the background, creating a sense of casualness and spontaneity. The painting captures the joy and innocence of childhood, a common theme in Liebermann’s work.
