About the piece
Painted in 1903 by German artist Hans Thoma, this luminous portrait depicts his adopted daughter, Ella Blaue. The sitter is captured in a moment of quiet contemplation, wearing an ornate white and blue dress that contrasts beautifully with the expansive, clear blue sky and verdant trees in the background.
