Leentjie 

"Leentjie," a poignant portrait by South African artist Maggie Laubser, depicts a young Black girl with a contemplative gaze. The use of bold colours, especially the contrasting blue, pink, and brown tones, emphasizes the subject's melancholic mood and the rural setting. Though the exact date of the painting is unknown, its style aligns with Laubser's early works, which were influenced by Expressionism. The simplicity of the composition and the focus on the girl's face create a powerful sense of vulnerability and individuality.
