About the piece
Painted in 1898 by Teodor Axentowicz, this soulful portrait depicts a young girl prepared for Candlemas. She is dressed in a heavy brown coat and a vibrant red headscarf, holding a lit candle that symbolizes the light of faith. The work is characterized by Axentowicz's masterfully loose brushwork and a warm, atmospheric palette that evokes a sense of folk tradition and quiet dignity.
