About the piece

Created in 1910 by Finnish artist Jalmari Ruokokoski, this expressive study depicts a young Parisian woman with striking red hair. The work utilizes energetic green and orange chalk lines to define the subject's features and the play of light across her face, capturing a moment of quiet, upward-gazing contemplation.
