About the piece
Painted around 1910, this portrait depicts Charlotte Moser, the artist's sister. Co-founder of the Vienna Secession, Koloman Moser employs a confident, painterly technique here, using a grounded palette of earthy greens and ochres to capture his subject in a moment of quiet contemplation. The work is a prime example of the artist's late-career move toward expressive, modernist portraiture.
