From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mädchen am Fenster (Girl by the Window) is a 1922 graphite by Walter Gramatté, held at National Gallery of Art.
This watercolor painting, created over graphite, depicts a girl sitting by a window. She is dressed in a blue shirt with a yellow bow and a dark green jacket, with her dark hair cut in a bob. The background is a mix of pink and red hues. The girl's gaze is directed to the right, and her expression is somewhat somber. The window beside her features a cross-shaped frame, with a glimpse of blue sky visible through the panes. The painting's use of watercolor over graphite creates a sense of depth and texture.
