Mädchen im Glas 1902

"Mädchen im Glas" (Girl in the Glass) is a 1902 painting by German artist Leo Putz (1869-1940), capturing a young woman confined within a glass vessel. The woman's nude form and the intricate details of the glass vessel suggest a theme of entrapment, perhaps symbolizing the limitations placed upon women in society during this period. The painting's vibrant colors and stylized brushstrokes are characteristic of Art Nouveau, a movement that emphasized natural forms and decorative motifs.
