Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) Women & Children before the Rectangles...

Piet Mondrian (Dutch painter, 1872 - 1944) Portrait of a Girl with Flowers.

And these portraits are also a surprise from a painter not generally known for representation or sentimentality.  Mondrian was the famous Dutch abstract painter, whose most recognized works are abstract paintings of colored squares, rectangles, and thick black lines. His works before 1920 are little known but quite appealing.
