About the piece

Painted in 1887 by Harriet Backer, this work beautifully captures a quiet domestic moment in a farmhouse in Bærum. The artist masterfully handles the play of natural light, contrasting the cool glow from the window with the warm, earthy tones of the rustic interior and the vibrant green of the world outside the open door.
