About the piece

This 1889 oil painting by Jan Veth captures the innocent likeness of four-year-old Johanna Jozina Singels. The composition features a striking contrast between the child's luminous white dress and pink silk sash against a deeply shadowed, atmospheric background, showcasing the artist's skill in texture and light.
