MODERSOHN-BECKER, Paula: Self-portrait with red Rose

🖼 Self-portrait with red Rose, 1905

Soft brushwork renders a woman's face in earthy tones, a single crimson rose held against her chest in intimate repose. This 1905 self-portrait challenged conventions of female beauty and artistic agency, establishing Modersohn-Becker as a pioneer of Expressionism before her early death.
