A Tavern Garden in Rosenheim

Created through etching, Liebermann incised lines into a metal plate, then transferred the image onto cream‑colored paper. The resulting marks are quick and textured, conveying movement and spontaneity. The scratchy, somewhat unfinished quality suggests a rapid capture of the scene, aligning with the artist’s practice of rendering atmospheric effects through loose, expressive lines.

Born in Berlin in 1847, Liebermann trained in Weimar, Paris, and the Netherlands before establishing himself in Munich and later returning to Berlin in 1884. The etching was produced during his mature period, when he was a leading figure in German Impressionism. Its provenance traces back to Liebermann’s own workshop, where he produced multiple impressions for collectors.
