Half-length Portrait of a Woman from the Kinzig Valley, 1898
About the object
More vivid and tangible than a 'finished' painting, this study in oil depicts the process of sitting as a model and that of painting a portrait. Studies of this kind were made to prepare larger works. In this instance, the artist used both sides of the canvas, whereby the depictions do not refer to anything specifically.
