About the piece
This 1914 oil portrait by Finnish artist Maria Wiik captures a Breton woman with striking modern sensibility. The work is characterized by its bold, energetic brushwork and a sophisticated interplay of violet, ochre, and cream tones, reflecting Wiik's deep engagement with the light and character of Brittany during the early 20th century.
