She was one of the leading female painters of her generation and the most important Swiss female portrait artist of the early modern era. Her name: Ottilie W. Roederstein. A new retrospective at the Kunsthaus Zürich honors an artist who was often the only woman representing Switzerland abroad, alongside her contemporaries Hodler, Amiet and Giacometti.
