MODERSOHN-BECKER, Paula: Brustbild einer sitzenden alten Bäuerin

🖼 Brustbild einer sitzenden alten Bäuerin, 1903
Basel, Switzerland

Weathered features and earthy tones capture an elderly peasant woman in frontal, sculptural simplicity. Modersohn-Becker's bold primitivism and psychological depth challenged early modernism, establishing her as a visionary bridge between Symbolism and Expressionism.
