MODERSOHN-BECKER, Paula: Hockendes Mädchen mit Storch

Warm earth tones and simplified forms depict a seated girl cradling a stork, rendered in bold, almost primitive brushwork. Modersohn-Becker's 1906 work anticipates Expressionism, merging folk art sensibility with modern abstraction to explore childhood innocence and human-animal connection.
