Waldarbeiter - Studie zu dem Wandbild "Winter" fur das Rathaus von Altona

The industrialist and landowner Arthur Schnitzler commissioned Liebermann to create a cycle of large-format paintings featuring the four seasons for Schloss Klink in Mecklenberg. The motif of the three woodsmen working on a log laying on the ground can be found in the cycle’s depiction of Winter. Unfortunately, after Soviet troops were billeted in Klink Castle in 1945, nothing remained of Liebermann’s wall paintings. They are recorded only in documents and historical photographs.
