Drs Margreet Nouwen has confirmed the authenticity of this drawing.
Max Liebermann had started to explore the subject of the potato harvest in 1873. As Germany didn’t appear ready for his Naturalism, Liebermann went to France and drawn to Daubigny, Corot and Millet, spent the summer of 1874 in Barbizon. This freed the artist’s painterly expression and his time in Italy and particularly in Holland helped him further develop his style. By the time he executed Kartoffelgräber bei Zandvoort, he was back in Berlin, had established himself as an artist and had become the head of the Berlin Secession, the movement which broke with academic tradition. He continued to visit Holland, spending summers at the coast near Zandvoort, where he found the inspiration for the present lot.
