Elsbeth con le galline
1902
Paula Modersohn-Becker captures a charming rural moment here, showing a young girl in a purple dress playfully herding three plump chickens with a stick. Painted in 1902 during her time in the Worpswede artist colony, this piece is a fantastic example of early German Expressionism, where simple shapes and bold colors take center stage over realistic detail. You can see her sketching process in the faint pencil lines of trees and fences left in the background, giving us a peek into her creative mind.
