About the piece
Painted in 1901, this work by Danish artist Anna Ancher exemplifies her mastery of light and color. A young girl sits by a window plaiting her hair, her figure bathed in the soft, warm glow of morning light, while a baby sleeps peacefully nearby. Ancher, a central figure of the Skagen Painters, captures this intimate moment of domestic life with a signature poetic sensibility and a vibrant, luminous palette.
