More about this artwork

In the evocative self-portrait "Selbstbildnis mit Schirmmütze" (Self-Portrait with a Cap) dated 1923, the distinguishable hand of Max Liebermann captures the introspective gaze and profound character of the artist himself. This particular piece is rendered in soft, yet assertive charcoal strokes that sketch out Liebermann's features with both delicacy and decisiveness.Liebermann, portrayed in his later years, appears with a deep-set gaze, his eyes reflecting a blend of wisdom and weariness, perhaps mirroring the complex socio-political climate of the era. The cap, or 'Schirmmütze', tilted atop his head not only serves as an interesting focal point but also adds a touch of informal personality to the composition. His attire, somewhat ambiguous, is hinted at with loosely defined dark areas, suggesting a formal yet accessible demeanor.This artwork is not just a study of the self but also a dialogue of time, allowing viewers to peer into the soul of one of the most influential figures in German Impressionism.

Max Liebermann was a German painter and printmaker of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, and one of the leading proponents of Impressionism in Germany.

The son of a Jewish fabric manufacturer turned banker from Berlin, Liebermann grew up in an imposing town house alongside the Brandenburg Gate.

He first studied law and philosophy at the University of Berlin, but later studied painting and drawing in Weimar in 1869, in Paris in 1872, and in the Netherlands in 1876–77.
