The artist’s daughter Mary in a red hat (Stuck)

Franz von Stuck once again casts a tender gaze upon his child in “The artist’s daughter Mary in a red hat”. This portrait is striking for its highly graphic, almost illustrative aesthetic. Little Mary’s sweet face, of immaculate whiteness, immediately captures attention. Her large brown eyes stare seriously at the viewer. She is majestically crowned with a large, deep carmine red hat, adorned with white feathers, which echoes her dress. The background is treated with broad, nervous grey and silver brushstrokes, creating a dynamic texture that highlights the delicacy of the model. A charming artwork that illustrates a father’s love and the technical virtuosity of the Bavarian painter.
