About the piece

Painted in 1894, this oil study by Swiss master Ferdinand Hodler depicts Berthe Jacques in a striking profile. The work showcases Hodler's signature focus on strong, rhythmic lines and a harmonious, muted color scheme that emphasizes the sitter's graceful form and the subtle textures of the canvas support.
