Sand pit 1901

"Sand Pit" (1901) is a landscape painting by German artist Paula Modersohn-Becker. The work is characterized by its simplified forms and earthy color palette, reflecting her interest in naturalism and the direct observation of the world around her. The painting depicts a large hill, likely a sand pit, in a muted brown and green color scheme, with a sliver of blue sky peeking through at the top. This evocative landscape showcases the artist's ability to capture the essence of nature with a few bold brushstrokes.
