Max Liebermann's contemporaries

This is a drawing of a rustic interior scene. The artwork depicts an interior where a table is surrounded by chairs. On the table, there is a bowl, as the individuals appear to be interacting or reaching towards it. In the background, livestock and chickens are visible, suggesting the environment is possibly a farm or a barn with a dining space. The use of soft lines and shading creates a warm, intimate, and slightly somber atmosphere within the image, with light and shadow playing an important role in highlighting the subjects and their surroundings.
The image depicts two individuals from the waist up. The person on the left has a round face and is slightly behind the person on the right who has a slightly elongated face. Both individuals appear to be seated and have short, neatly combed hair. They have neutral facial expressions and their features are indistinct. The person on the left wears a suit with a bow tie, while the person on the right is dressed in clothing with detailed patterns and holds a flower-like object in their left hand. The background shows simple line sketches that suggest an interior setting.
The image shows a landscape with a valley leading towards two mountain peaks known as the Peaks of Otter. The horizon is low, with the mountains dominating the scene. The brushwork is smooth and delicate, and the color palette consists of muted earth tones, greens, and soft blues. In the foreground, there are cattle grazing in a field with a wooden fence, and a couple of houses among trees to the left. Further back, there are open fields with horses and agricultural activities, leading to a dense tree line at the base of the mountains.
Four women with musical instruments lounge in a massive garden courtyard.
The image shows a residential area with barren trees, rooftops of houses, and people walking along fences. The trees sway in the wind, their branches extending in various directions. The scene is depicted in a monochromatic black and white style, with expressive lines creating a sense of movement and a sketch-like quality. The horizon is high, showing rooftops and the sun above it.
The image shows a man's head and part of his neck in profile view. The man is looking to the left, showcasing his facial features. He has a prominent nose, cheekbones, dark hair with hints of gray at the sides, and a white beard under his chin. He is wearing a gray collar that is partially visible. The background is a plain, muted brown color. There are no objects or jewelry visible in the image.
Seated Female Nude (Self-Portrait?), by Paula Modersohn-Becker, c. 1899
The image shows a person lying down, positioned on their side, resting on a pillow. The individual appears to be asleep, with closed eyes, slightly parted lips, and a relaxed facial expression. The person has light-colored hair, partially covered by a white nightcap, and is dressed in white nightwear with a ruffled collar. They are covered by a white blanket and their hand is partially visible near the face, with fingers interlaced. The background features a wooden headboard or furniture piece.
