About the piece
Painted in 1902 by German Expressionist pioneer Paula Modersohn-Becker, this work captures a poignant, quiet moment between a girl and a small child. The composition is defined by the artist's characteristic tactile brushwork and a bold background of stylized red flowers that create a vibrant contrast against the grounding, dark tones of the figures.
