participated in the Exposition Universelle in Paris, marking the 100th anniversary of the FrenchRevolution. For political reasons, the Prussian government forbade him from accepting a knighthood from the French Legion of Honour.
Here is an example of his work when he liked most to paint scenes from the lower classes. This theme ended about 1900 and so the painting probably dates to before then. "Girl Sewing with Cat," is a Dutch scene. He loved Holland and visited there
every summer from 1874 to 1914 .
In 1897 Max Liebermann was appointed professor at the Royal Academy of Arts at Berlin. From 1920 to 1932 he was President of the Prussian Academy of Arts at Berlin. In 1933 he resigned as honorary president of that Academy upon the fine art department’s decision to stop exhibiting pictures from Jewish artists. Max Liebermann died at the family home in Berlin in 1935.
