“Seated Girl in a Landscape, to the Right” is a charcoal sketch by Paula Modersohn-Becker, created in 1902. This piece, which measures 31.5 x 28 cm, is a part of the Expressionism art movement and is classified under the genre of sketches and studies.
The artwork depicts a young girl seated on a chair, positioned to the right of the frame. The girl appears in profile, facing towards the right, with a somewhat contemplative expression. The surrounding landscape, though abstracted, offers hints of natural elements such as plant life and possibly a body of water or distant scenery. The artist employs loose, flowing charcoal lines to outline the girl’s form and the environment, capturing a sense of immediacy and emotional depth. The simplicity and rawness of the medium convey the introspective and exploratory nature typical of Modersohn-Becker’s expressionist approach.
