A dimly lit interior filled with women plucking geese is the subject of this painting by Max Liebermann, made between 1871 and 1872. The figures are arranged in a dense group, with feathers scattered across the floor and baskets used to collect them. The earthy palette of browns, greys, and muted blues, combined with the strong contrast of light on faces and hands, emphasizes the laborious nature of the task and the subdued atmosphere of the room.

The composition draws attention to the repetitive action and quiet concentration of each worker, highlighting the communal aspect of rural labor. Painted early in Liebermann's career, this work reflects the influence of realism and the artist’s interest in scenes of everyday life among the working class. Genre paintings of rural or peasant subjects were common in late nineteenth-century Europe, often intended to document social realities or evoke empathy for laborers. The painting is in the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
