About the piece

Painted in 1910, Max Liebermann captures the vibrant energy of a summer day on the Alster in Hamburg. The work's loose, atmospheric brushstrokes and cool palette of blue, grey, and white reflect the German Impressionist's mastery of light and movement, creating a sophisticated piece of European modernism.
