Marthe De Spiegeleir paints with a deep sensitivity and humanism that are typical of her work. In this evocative portrait, she captures the fragile intensity of a young girl's face, painted in chiaroscuro with bold yet delicate strokes. The girl stares directly at the viewer, her features partially veiled in shadow, which adds to the atmosphere of introspection and silence. The contrast between the warm brown of her clothing and the cool, deep background strengthens the emotional impact of the piece. The necklace around her neck adds a subtle symbolic accent of childhood tenderness.
