Pietje (Lezend meisje)
Ref: sk-c-1833
Pietje was probably a relative of Suze Robertson’s childminder. The artist painted her in this pose at least three times. In this version, the gold leaf behind her head forms a striking contrast to the painted brown tones. Robertson was fascinated by gold, initially
rendering it in paint. Here she boldly took this a step further by applying gold leaf. By using this material the painting acquires a mystical aura.
