/internal/media/dispatcher/4859/fullHead of a Peasant Girlc. 1880[Wilhelm Leibl]Wilhelm LeiblOil on wood The characteristic hat, the light-colored shawl, and the tight-fitting decorative choker made of silver chains donned by the young woman in this portrait refer to a traditional costume of Bavaria. The painter Wilhelm Leibl, who lived mostly in Munich, captures this precisely, with every detail executed with equal care. Leibl is famous for his portraits and genre scenes from rural life. This depiction of a young woman was originally much larger and bore the title Das Mädchen mit der Nelke (Girl with Carnation). Leibl, however, was not satisfied with the composition and cut down the work after it failed to receive adequate recognition at a show in Paris.
