More Information
Broncia Koller-Pinell, born in what is today Poland, moved with her orthodox Jewish family to Vienna in 1870, where she became one of the few successful women artists at the turn of the 20th century. Working in the circle of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, she is known for portraits and still-life painting. In this watercolor of a brightly lit clearing in a forest, the paper itself provides the “highlights” of sunshine along a path through the trees.
