About the piece
Created in 1890, this painting by Polish artist Olga Boznańska is a masterclass in the Intimist style. It features a woman in traditional Breton costume sitting by a window, where soft light casts a gentle shadow against the frame. Boznańska's signature diffused brushwork and restrained color palette create a sense of quiet psychological depth, making it a sophisticated addition to a bedroom or study.
