About the piece
Created in 1903, Christian Rohlfs' 'Holstein Farmer' is a striking example of Neo-Impressionism. The artist uses a dense field of small, multi-colored dabs of oil paint to build form and light, resulting in a portrait that feels both sturdy and luminous. The vibrant greens and reds create a lively energy, making this a sophisticated addition to a collection of early modern art.
