Portrait of a Girl
ca 1900
Franz von Defregger, an Austrian master famous for painting Tyrolean peasant life, turns his attention to a more intimate subject here. The young woman's gaze drifts off-canvas, creating a sense of longing or deep thought, while a splash of vibrant red fabric anchors the composition against a dark, moody background. You can clearly see Defregger's signature in the top left, marking this as a confident study in realism where loose brushstrokes bring her hair and skin to life with surprising warmth.
