Visited the Max Liebermann Villa …

Visited the Max Liebermann Villa on a day off of work to see the beautiful gardens and the special exhibition In Focus: Liebermann’s Pastels on its last weekend. Sat at a table on the premises right at the edge of the Wannsee lake and sketched the view across the water.

A charming garden full of vibrant flowers and greenery surrounds a traditional summer house and garden cottage with sloped roofs and an arched window. A cabbage white butterfly is perched on a cluster of small purpletop vervain flowers amidst a blurred natural background. A dirt path is lined with slender birch trees, their white bark contrasting with the lush green grass. A sailboat and a motorboat are on a calm body of water near a shoreline lined with trees and houses under a partly cloudy sky.
