About the piece
Painted in 1756 by Carl Gustaf Pilo, this intimate portrait of the artist's wife displays the soft, luminous skin tones and masterful brushwork characteristic of the mid-18th century. The composition is grounded by the deep tones of her hood, while the pops of crimson ribbon provide a lively focal point that adds a touch of spirit to the formal subject.
