About the piece

Painted in 1903, this oil on cardboard portrait by Paula Modersohn-Becker captures a young girl with a contemplative expression. She is adorned with a blue and white chain in her hair and holds a bouquet of bright orange flowers, all rendered in the artist's signature simplified forms and earthy color palette.
