Madchen (Girl)

Walter Gramatté

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper body of a person from the chest up. The person is facing forward, slightly turned to the left, with eyes looking towards the viewer. The facial features are delicately drawn, accentuating bold eyebrows and a small, slightly open mouth. The hair is styled with a slight wave, appearing short. The person is wearing a collared garment that resembles a coat. Their right hand rests on their thigh in a relaxed pose. There are no visible jewelry pieces or other objects being held. The background consists of abstract, sharp, jagged lines framing the person.
