Girl with a Basket of Ribbons 1915

"Girl with a Basket of Ribbons" (1915) by Frederick Carl Frieseke depicts a young woman in a soft, dreamy style characteristic of the artist's Impressionist leanings. The woman sits gracefully in a chair, her gaze lowered as she carefully arranges a collection of colorful ribbons in a wicker basket. Frieseke's use of light and brushstrokes creates a sense of intimacy and serenity, capturing a moment of domestic tranquility in the early 20th century. This painting is a fine example of Frieseke's signature style, which often features feminine subjects in domestic settings bathed in natural light.
