Agnusha

A girl stands outdoors facing the viewer, one foot forward, wearing a navy polka-dot pinafore over a floral blouse, a pleated blue skirt, white knee socks, and pale shoes, a white bow in her braided hair. Both arms wrap around two rag dolls held against her chest, one in a bonnet, the other in purple with striped legs, against a wall of leafy green shrubs and lilac blossoms.

Cool greens and violet-greys dominate the background in short, hatched pastel marks, while warm light picks out the child's face, arms, and dolls. The contrast between the blurred foliage and the more finished figure gives the portrait depth and a quiet stillness, the brushwork textured throughout.
