About the piece

Created in 1912 by Belgian master Léon Spilliaert, this watercolor and colored pencil work depicts a stylishly dressed woman absorbed in an exhibition. The artist uses a restrained, muted palette and a strong silhouette to evoke the modern experience of solitude and contemplation within a public space.
