Portrait of zoologist Hermann Strebel is a 1905 oil by Max Liebermann, a Impressionism work, held at Hamburger Kunsthalle.
This painting shows an older man sitting in a chair, dressed in a dark suit and white shirt. He has a long white beard and is looking at the viewer with a serious expression. His hands are clasped together in front of him. The man's face is the main focus of the painting, with the background and chair blurred into the shadows. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the textures of the man's skin, hair, and clothing. The painting is a detailed and realistic portrait of a man, with a focus on his expression and character. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up impasto.
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.
