“Portrait of Tillie,” a notable artwork by Robert Henri, belongs to the American Realism movement and falls under the genre of portraiture. The artwork masterfully depicts a young girl with a thoughtful expression. She is adorned in a striking red scarf that contrasts vividly with her dark hair and the soft, neutral-toned background. Henri’s use of rich, earthy tones and bold brushstrokes highlights the delicate features of the subject while evoking a sense of immediacy and presence indicative of American Realist works. The portrait’s composition directs the viewer’s focus to Tillie’s expressive face, encapsulating a moment of quiet reflection and natural beauty.
