Hermann Max Pechstein Print, Young Woman with Hair Bow (1924)

Young Woman with Hair Bow (1924) by Hermann Max Pechstein

Young Woman with Hair Bow (1924), or Junge Frau mit Haarschleife, is a brightly coloured portrait drawing in which the sitter leans forward in a patterned blouse. Her pale face and yellow hair contrast with green, pink-red and black accents across the clothing.

The original is a coloured chalk drawing with India-ink pen on wove paper and measures approximately 49.5 × 39.5 cm. It is signed and dated 1924.

Available as a fine art print, handmade framed print or canvas panel, this light vertical portrait works well in bedrooms, dressing spaces, studies and colourful gallery walls.

A portrait with an almost caricatural edge

Pechstein slightly distorts the figure and perspective, giving the sitter an animated, modern presence. The patterned blouse becomes a field of colour that balances the simplified face and hands.

About Hermann Max Pechstein

Hermann Max Pechstein (1881–1955) was a German painter and printmaker and one of the leading figures of German Expressionism. He joined Die Brücke in 1906 and became known for forceful contours, simplified forms and heightened colour. Figures, portraits, working life, coastal subjects and landscapes remained important themes throughout his career.

Style and technique

Coloured chalk provides soft but saturated passages while ink sharpens selected contours. The combination gives the drawing both painterly colour and quick graphic energy.
