About this work
A young girl in a bright red top is shown close up, head and shoulders only, wearing an oversized ring of wheat stalks, grasses and wildflowers - purple, pink and white - arranged around her head like a nest. Her hair falls loose beneath the woven crown, and she looks directly out at the viewer with a calm, slightly guarded expression.
The background is a pale, broken white, letting the warm skin tones and red garment stand out. Thick, visible brushstrokes build the grasses and petals with loose, energetic strokes, while the face is rendered more smoothly and precisely. The contrast between careful portraiture and loose floral texture gives the picture a fresh, tactile immediacy.
