Spinner 1886

Max Liebermann's "Spinner" (1886) is a captivating depiction of a woman working in a dimly lit room. The woman, dressed in traditional clothing, is lost in her task, her face obscured by a dark hat. The use of natural light emphasizes the contrast between the woman and her environment, highlighting her quiet isolation and the harsh conditions of her labor. This piece exemplifies Liebermann's focus on depicting everyday life and the working class, a style that became a hallmark of German Impressionism.
