Girl’s head in front of a window c. 1902

"Girl's Head in Front of a Window" is a c. 1902 painting by German Expressionist Paula Modersohn-Becker. Known for her self-portraits and bold depictions of the female form, the painting captures a young woman's introspective gaze. The artist's use of thick, textured brushstrokes and vibrant colors creates a sense of depth and emotional intensity. The composition, with the window framing the subject's face and a vase of flowers on the sill, evokes a sense of confinement and introspection, characteristic of Modersohn-Becker's later works.
