More about this artwork

The painting titled "Hongaarse vrouw, staande driekwart naar links, op de rug gezien" (1855) by August von Pettenkofen captures an evocative moment of a Hungarian woman depicted from behind, looking out over a landscape. The use of soft watercolors contributes to the gentle, almost ephemeral quality of the work, blending the woman into her serene surroundings.In this piece, the subject is dressed in traditional Hungarian attire, adding a cultural dimension to the painting. Her bare feet touch the ground, symbolizing perhaps a deep connection to her homeland. Her posture—turned slightly to the side, with her hand raised to her chin—suggests a moment of deep contemplation or observation.Pettenkofen's meticulous attention to the details of her clothing—a flowing white blouse paired with a striped skirt cinched at the waist by a red belt—offers a glimpse into the fashion of the period and region. The setting, depicted with broad, loose strokes, fades into a blur of greens and blues, emphasizing the figure of the woman against the vast, open sky. The shadow cast beside her not only grounds the figure in physical space but also mirrors her contemplative mood.
