About the piece
Painted in 1888, this portrait by Swiss master Ferdinand Hodler captures Hélène Weiglé in profile as she sits amidst a sun-dappled garden. Her striking blue and white gingham dress provides a bold graphic contrast to the soft textures of the surrounding greenery and the delicate flowers she holds.
