Portrait of Marguerite van Mons
Théo van Rysselberghe · 1886
Why it's great
A young girl in a dark dress stands in a doorway, painted with tiny dots of color. Théo van Rysselberghe, a Belgian painter, used the pointillist technique, which makes the light sparkle. The dots blend together when you step back. It's a lovely portrait of a child.
