A celebrated masterpiece of Dutch Impressionism and a quintessential example of late 19th-century Japonisme. The painting depicts Geesje Kwak, a sixteen-year-old seamstress who posed for Breitner's iconic series of kimono portraits. Breitner captures the rich, tactile quality of the embroidered silk kimono set against ornate oriental rugs, blending broad impressionistic brushwork with intimate domestic tranquility.
