About the piece
Painted in 1907, this late work by Paula Modersohn-Becker captures an elderly woman amidst a dreamlike garden of poppies. The painting is characterized by its heavy impasto, flattened perspective, and a rich, earthy color palette typical of the artist's pioneering contribution to early German Expressionism.
