About the piece
Painted in 1915 by Belgian artist Rik Wouters, this striking portrait showcases his signature use of light and expressive brushwork. The subject, often identified as the artist's wife and muse Nel, is depicted in a bold white blouse that anchors the composition against a warm, painterly background. The work beautifully balances domestic intimacy with a vibrant, modern energy.
