About the piece

Painted in 1895, Charlotte Mannheimer's 'Bread-Baking' is a masterclass in atmospheric lighting. The work depicts a woman engaged in the rhythmic task of bread making, bathed in a soft, ethereal glow that filters through translucent curtains. This late 19th-century Swedish painting captures a sense of timeless domestic serenity through its delicate palette and impressionistic handling of light.
