About the piece

Erik Werenskiold’s 'Du og Bébé' (1884) is a beautiful example of late 19th-century Nordic Impressionism. The work captures an intimate moment as a mother holds her child by a sunlit window, using expressive brushwork and a soft, airy palette to render the play of light through curtains and the delicate textures of the domestic interior.
