"Smiling Girl" (1921) is a portrait by Finnish artist Helene Schjerfbeck (1862-1946). The painting features a close-up view of a young woman’s face against a dark background, with a delicate focus on her eyes and subtle smile. The style, characterized by simplified forms and muted colors, aligns with Schjerfbeck's signature approach, emphasizing the introspective and emotional depth of her subjects.
