Leemos por ahí:
“Schjerfbeck's sensibility as a painter of children, epitomised by Dancing
Shoes and The Convalescent, has its roots in her own childhood. Solitary and
shy by nature, as a young girl she suffered from a debilitating hip ailment,
and The Convalescent is widely regarded as a symbolic self portrait. Similarly,
the present work, exuding the joy and unselfconsciousness of a little girl, is
perhaps a celebration of the joys of childhood Schjerfbeck herself was denied.”
