About the piece

Painted in 1912, this oil study by Rik Wouters is a beautiful example of the Belgian Brabant Fauvist movement. The work captures a quiet moment of a figure in motion, utilizing an airy palette and energetic, visible brushstrokes that allow the warmth of the canvas to contribute to the overall composition. The spontaneous technique lends the piece a modern, timeless presence.
