About the piece

Painted in 1905, this work by Paula Modersohn-Becker showcases her signature proto-Expressionist style. The composition focuses on the intimate bond between the two figures, rendered in a warm palette of terracotta and ochre, framed by the characteristic verticality of birch trees.
