About the piece
Painted in 1909 by Jan Ciągliński, this impressionistic work captures a young girl in Biskra, Algeria. She is draped in a vibrant red cloak that contrasts beautifully with the warm, earthy tones of the ground and the gestural forms of palm trees in the background. The artist’s bold brushwork and use of light evoke the hazy heat of North Africa, a region that inspired much of his later work.
