About the piece
Painted in 1885 by Minna Tersmeden, this evocative oil portrait depicts a young girl in traditional Bavarian folk costume. The work is notable for the dramatic silhouette of her large green hat and the vibrant, textured details of her embroidered bodice, all presented with a quiet, dignified presence.
