Mäda Primavesi (1903–2000)

Erisava: I love the colors but she looks about forty in the face and nine everywhere else.

What's your take?

This was a commission — her parents were rich Viennese patrons who put money behind a lot of the design world there. The story goes she was nine, and that she picked how she wanted to stand herself.
