Leopold Graf von Kalckreuth (Düsseldorf, May 15, 1855 - December 1, 1928) was a German painter. Although he painted some portraits remarkable for their power of expression, he devoted himself principally to depicting with relentless realism the monotonous life of the fishing folk on the sea-coast, and of the peasants in the fields. His palette is joyless, and almost melancholy, and in his technique he is strongly influenced by the impressionists.
