Provenance:
Private Collection, Vienna
“I stubbornly began painting portraits in order to be able to look people in the eye, to get to know their characteristics, to become familiar with the society in which I now had to live.”
Oskar Kokoschka, 1971
This delicate portrait belongs to a series of vibrantly colored watercolors that Oskar Kokoschka created in Dresden in the early 1920s. He had been appointed professor at the academy there in 1920. His preferred subject in these three years were portraits of girls, whose features he was able to capture in a fascinatingly spontaneous and relaxed style.
