Maria Magdalena (Maggie) Laubser was born in 1886 on a farm in the Swartland as the eldest of six children.  She is highly regarded as one of South Africa's best artists and considered, together with Irma Stern, to be largely responsible for the introduction of Expressionism to South Africa.  Like so many, her work was initially met with criticism, but over the years that has changed and she is now regarded as an exemplary and quintessentially South African artist. 

She was initially educated and introduced to the arts in South Africa, but was later also sponsored to continue her studies overseas.  She studied in the Netherlands and Great Britain, which enhanced her knowledge of worldwide art trends.  She traveled extensively before coming back to South Africa in 1924, and these travels also greatly influenced her work.

Laubser was often influenced by exotic beauty and her travels within South Africa.  Her portraits of young Indian and African women, in which flower motifs are employed as decorative surrounds, are some of her finest.

This specific painting was sold by the artist in 1964.

This 40 x 50cm version of this painting is fairly challenging and has 30 colours.  Each box contains a stretched, printed and numbered canvas, paint, brushes and a page detailing the numbers for an extra reference.
