About the artwork
This page presents "A Peasant Woman with a Stick" (1890), created by Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst. It is listed in the Figurative collection. The image is in portrait orientation. Figurative, a short history: Over the centuries, painters have used the figure to express social standing, narrative, and emotion. Figurative art depicts people and recognisable scenes, and it has been central to European painting since antiquity. Historical background, 1890: Japanese prints reached Europe in large numbers and influenced many artists, while photography changed what painting needed to do. In the 1890s, colour lithography and Art Nouveau made the illustrated poster a celebrated art form.
