About the piece
Painted in 1904 by Bertha Worms, 'Sentimental Song' is a masterful example of genre portraiture. The work captures a moment of deep contemplation, using a dramatic chiaroscuro effect to illuminate the subject's expression while her vibrant red shawl adds a touch of warmth to the moody, textured composition.
