Q117536127 is a 1893 oil by Ferdinand Hodler, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting sitting, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting depicts a young girl seated on a chair, facing the viewer. She wears a dark-colored dress with a high neckline and long sleeves, and her dark hair is pulled back into a ponytail. A small white flower is visible near her right hand. The girl's facial expression is neutral, and her gaze is directed at the viewer. The background of the painting is a muted gray-brown color, which provides a subtle contrast to the girl's dark clothing. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, drawing the viewer's attention to the girl's face and hands. Look up "chiaroscuro" next.
