The artwork titled “Boys Bathing with Beach Warden,” created by Max Liebermann in 1907, is an oil painting on panel. This genre painting, executed in the style of Impressionism, measures 36.8 by 46 cm and is currently held in a private collection.
In the artwork, a group of boys is depicted joyfully bathing in the sea, their figures rendered with loose, expressive brushstrokes characteristic of the Impressionist movement. A beach warden, standing in the shallow water, appears to be keeping watch over the children, ensuring their safety as they revel in the waves. The light and color capture the dynamic movement of the water and the playful energy of the scene, along with the warden’s quiet vigilance, creating a harmonious composition full of life and spontaneity.
