From the collection of Kunsthaus Zürich
Bildnis Bertha Stucki is a 1894 oil by Ferdinand Hodler, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting features a woman with dark hair, pulled back and adorned with a black ribbon. She wears a dark blue jacket with a high collar and a small, gold clasp. Her face is rendered in soft, gentle brushstrokes, with a subtle smile and downcast eyes. The background is a muted, earthy tone, which complements the subject's attire.
