The Dutch Sewing School
The Dutch Sewing School is from a period in Max Liebermann’s career when Dutch peasants were a common subject in his work. The sewing school seen here was in an orphanage in Amsterdam. While he started his career as a realist painter, by the time he created this picture, he was already beginning to paint in an impressionist style.
