About the piece
Painted in 1913 by Robert Henri, a leading figure of the Ashcan School, this portrait of 'Catharine' showcases his ability to capture the vital spirit of his subjects. The work features a striking contrast between the dark, atmospheric background and the luminous, rosy-cheeked face of the child, rendered with fluid and energetic brushwork.
