More about this artwork
"Teckelstudien" (1909) by Max Liebermann is an enchanting collection of sketches that captures the playful and relaxed poses of dachshunds, a breed known for their elongated bodies and spirited character. Liebermann's work is renowned for its expressive realism and this series of drawings beautifully illustrates his mastery in portraying daily life and ordinary subjects with an extraordinary charm and detail.In this composition, Liebermann has sketched six dachshunds in various casual poses, each figure rendered with a delicate yet confident line that communicates the softness of their fur and the fluidity of their movements. The sketches are minimalistic, focusing on the form and posture of the dogs without any background distractions, allowing the viewer to fully appreciate the simplicity and the spontaneity of the artist's strokes.This piece, while being a study, exudes a warm sense of intimacy and a deep appreciation for these animals, making it a delightful observation of not just the form but also the essence of the dachshunds. Each sketch offers a glimpse into different states of rest or activity, conveying a sense of life and character that is both subtle and engaging.
