This vertical composition is very similar to two lost oil paintings of the subject; see Matthias Eberle, Max Liebermann, 1847-1935: Werkzeichnis der Gemalde und Olstudien. Vol. II, 1900-1935 (Munich: Hirmer Verlag, 1996), catalogue nos. 1907/5 and 1907/6.
This charcoal sketch probably dates from sometime between 1905 and 1909, when the artist painted many views of Amsterdam's historic Jewish Quarter from the vantage point of a rented room above the street.

Condition: Tape reverse at upper left and right corners. Toned at bottom and left. Inscribed Judengasse Im Amsterdam in pencil on the front matting.
