About the piece
Painted in 1893, 'Childhood' captures the delicate innocence of youth through Ferdinand Hodler's signature Symbolist style. The young subject is rendered with expressive, confident brushwork against a textured, ethereal background of pale pinks and whites, punctuated by soft floral accents that create a sense of rhythmic harmony.
