About the piece
Painted in 1910 by American artist Robert Henri, 'La Madrilenita' (The Little Girl from Madrid) captures a youthful sitter with the artist’s characteristic vigor. As a leader of the Ashcan School, Henri emphasized directness and vitality, seen here in the luminous rendering of the girl's skin and the rapid, textured strokes of her pink dress against the dark, atmospheric ground.
