This is a commissioned portrait rather than the pictures of 'Bauern' (some of them probably rich farmers) that Leibl is well known for. The quality of the commissions is absolutely equal to the subjects pictures he chose to paint for himself. #WilhelmLeibl bsky.app/profile/oldp...

charcoal, I think. of a peasant concentrating on filling his pipe, seated, wearing a hat, windows lighten the overall effect. Drawing is loose, more detailed in the face and hands. 1890s.

Wilhelm Leibl is such an interesting artist, especially in the later works where realism is still a commitment but starts to open out. Remembering the first lockdown when I started assembling thoughts for a possible essay about him. Peasant filling his pipe, 1890s. #WilhelmLeibl #ArtHistory #Kunst
