About the piece

Created in 1906, this self-portrait by German modernist pioneer Paula Modersohn-Becker is a masterclass in early expressionism. The artist depicts herself with a contemplative gaze, adorned with a decorative veil and pink blossoms, framed by vibrant red curtains that contrast sharply against a luminous turquoise background.
