About the piece

Created in 1892 by Jan Toorop, 'The New Generation' is a cornerstone of the Dutch Symbolist movement. The painting captures the artist's young daughter in a high chair, set against a phantasmagoric landscape where trees and figures merge into an intricate web of sinuous lines and vibrant divisionist color.
