About the piece

Painted in 1898 by Cyril Mandel, this luminous watercolor portrait depicts a young girl in traditional Moravian folk costume. The work is defined by the bold patterns of her red headscarf and the intricate ruffles of her white collar, rendered with a light-filled technique that emphasizes the subject's soft features and warm character.
