Portrait of a Woman, 1898 Artist: Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) Description: This portrait, created by German Expressionist artist Paula Modersohn-Becker in 1898, depicts a woman with an introspective expression, her gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. The charcoal and graphite drawing on wove paper captures the essence of the sitter's character, revealing a depth and complexity that transcends the boundaries of traditional portraiture. Modersohn-Becker, a pioneering figure in the German art scene of the late 19th century, was known for her innovative approach to portraiture, often exploring the psychological and emotional aspects of her subjects. In this work, she masterfully employs the medium of charcoal and graphite to convey the woman's inner thoughts and feelings, creating a powerful and evocative image. The portrait is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the human condition, and serves as a poignant reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Germany during the late 19th century. This drawing is currently on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The woman in the portrait is depicted in profile, her head tilted slightly to the side, her hair pulled back in a simple bun. Her features are rendered with remarkable detail, from the delicate lines of her nose and mouth to the subtle textures of her skin. The background is left blank, drawing the viewer's focus to the woman's face and the enigmatic expression that seems to reveal both vulnerability and strength. Modersohn-Becker's Portrait of a Woman, 1898, is a masterpiece of 19th century art that continues to captivate and intrigue, inviting us to explore the depths of the human psyche and the power of artistic expression.
