About the piece
Created in 1916, 'Circus Girl' exemplifies Helene Schjerfbeck’s transition toward a more minimalist and expressive style. The painting uses a delicate, almost translucent application of color to create a sense of quiet introspection, punctuated by the bold, saturated red of the subject's lips and the soft pink of her costume.
