MODERSOHN-BECKER, Paula: Mädchen mit Blütenkranz im Haar

🖼 Mädchen mit Blütenkranz im Haar, 1901
Berlin, Germany

Soft brushwork renders a young girl's dreaming face crowned with delicate blossoms, her gaze turned inward. Modersohn-Becker pioneers early modernist portraiture, merging symbolist intimacy with bold simplification to capture psychological presence rather than likeness.
