Tochter Mary c. 1920

Franz von Stuck's "Tochter Mary" (c. 1920) is a portrait of a young woman with a serene expression and a delicate beauty. Her dark hair is adorned with blue flowers, creating a striking contrast against her fair complexion. The painting's background, which appears to be a cloudy sky, adds to the ethereal quality of the portrait. Stuck was known for his symbolist style and his exploration of themes of beauty, sensuality, and the feminine. "Tochter Mary" exemplifies these themes through its elegant composition and sensitive portrayal of its subject.
