East Frisian Peasants Eating Supper is a 1893 chalk by Max Liebermann, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This charcoal drawing shows a group of East Frisian peasants sitting around a simple wooden table. A woman pours coffee while others eat from plain bowls. Flickering light from a single lamp casts soft shadows on their faces. Max Liebermann often drew rural workers in the 1890s. He used white chalk to brighten dark charcoal, making the scene feel alive. The rough paper adds texture to their rough clothes and worn hands. Look for Liebermann, Max next.
Max Liebermann (20 July 1847 – 8 February 1935) was a German painter and printmaker, and one of the leading proponents of Impressionism in Germany and continental Europe.
