About the workThe Rostock painter Kate Diehn-Bitt portrayed her elder sister Annemarie in fashionable clothing and with short hair, thus depicting her as an independent and self-assured woman. The lighting emphasises her strong personality. Annemarie’s pose and her attentive, slightly detached gaze reflect women’s attitudes to life in the 1920s, an era when traditional gender roles were being challenged. Thanks to Annemarie’s support, Kate was able to live out her independence: for a time, her sister looked after her nephew, thereby giving the artist the freedom to pursue her studies at a private academy in Dresden.
