About the piece

Created in 1883 by Danish artist Anna Ancher, this oil study demonstrates her celebrated ability to capture the interplay of light within a room. The composition focuses on a seated woman in profile, whose dark silhouette is beautifully offset by the warm, golden rays of sun streaming through an unseen window, highlighting the rich textures of the paint.
