Mending the Nets

Max Liebermann

National Gallery of Art

The image features a scene with figures seated on the ground in a flat landscape that extends into the distance. The horizon is low, emphasizing the sky filled with textured clouds. The monochromatic palette consists of black and gray shades, and loose brushstrokes suggest movement. The figures, mostly women, are engaged in various activities.
