Artist, German, 1867 - 1945

The image depicts two people indoors. On the right side, a young girl is seated on a bed, visible from the waist up. She is positioned with her body slightly angled toward the viewer, sitting upright with one arm resting on her lap. Her facial features are drawn with a neutral expression, her eyes appearing to be lightly closed, and she has shoulder-length dark hair. She is wearing a long-sleeve, high-neck blouse with a pleated skirt. To her left stands another figure, an adult facing away from the viewer, bent slightly forward. This person's upper body, back, and head are visible, dressed in a loose garment. The setting includes textured wallpaper and framed artwork on the wall behind them, adding depth to the space. There appears to be a shelf or piece of furniture laden with fabric or blankets to the left.
