Max Liebermann Frau Liebermann auf einer Chaiselongue aus dem Fenster blickend Circa 1904 Brown and black pen and ink over pencil drawing on gold rimmed card. 8.6 x 14 cm. Framed under glass. Signed 'MLiebermann' in India ink lower right. Menu inscribed by Martha Liebermann in India ink verso: 'Den 23 April/Frühlingssuppe/Kiebitzeier/Seezunge mit Hummer/Filetschnitten/Salatgemüse/Junge Erbsen/Maitrankeis/Apfelsinenspeise/Cognaccrème/Dessert'. - Fine condition, with four minuscule brown stains. We would like to express our sincere thanks to Drs. Margreet Nouwen for confirming that she executed the document herself and for her comments. Provenance Galerie Arnoldi-Livie, Munich (label verso); Private collection, Hesse Apart from his official portraits, Max Liebermann also produced numerous portraits of his family in pastel or ink. In these portraits, he approached his subjects with interest but always with discretion, and usually captured them in everyday situations. He produced only a few portraits of his wife in which she faces the viewer. Far more often, he depicted her absorbed in an activity, reading or – as in this drawing – resting in a half-sleep. The menu in the background bears witness to the fact that Liebermann was a true gourmet. The occasion for which it was written is unknown.
