Half figure of a girl with a yellow wreath in her hair 1902

"Half figure of a girl with a yellow wreath in her hair" is a 1902 portrait by German Expressionist painter Paula Modersohn-Becker. The work features a young girl with a wreath of yellow flowers in her hair, a red shirt, and a simple brown skirt. The girl's face is rendered with a directness and honesty typical of Modersohn-Becker's style. This work is a strong example of the artist's focus on capturing the essence of her subjects with a raw and expressive use of color and brushwork.
