Karl Feiertag — Girl with a Red Hair Bow · Art Postcard

Caught mid-turn, a girl with a soft, bobbed hairstyle glances back over her shoulder, a red bow perched in her hair and a matching ribbon tied loosely at the collar of her white ruffled blouse. It's an informal pose for Karl Feiertag — none of the frontal stillness of his other portraits — closer to catching a child looking back before she runs off. The warm ochre background does nothing but hold the color of her hair and the two red accents in place. A fitting keepsake for anyone drawn to children's portrait postcards from the period, easy to frame on its own. Reproduced at 10×15 cm on 350 g/m² card stock, part of the wider Karl Feiertag collection.
