Niña con flores 1956

"Niña con flores" (1956) by Australian artist Joy Hester is a powerful watercolor depicting a figure obscured by large, expressive eyes, and a bouquet of flowers. The work is characterized by bold, gestural brushstrokes, capturing the emotion of its subject. Hester's style often reflected her own personal struggles and the anxieties of the era. The piece, now housed in the National Gallery of Victoria, provides a glimpse into the expressive and often raw style of this influential Australian artist.
