Drs Margreet Nouwen has confirmed the authenticity of this drawing.
This drawing is one of the few studies for a painting executed in two versions, both within the year of 1898 and identically named (Eberle, no. 1898/3, Private collection; Eberle, no. 1898/4, Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg). Max Liebermann stayed at Laren during the summers of 1897 and 1898. In this study, one can already see the planned composition forming with the trees between the children on their way to school.
