About the piece
Painted in 1881 by Finnish master Albert Edelfelt, this work depicts his sister Berta reading to her dog, Capi. The scene is bathed in a soft, natural light from an adjacent window, highlighting the rich textures of the pink dress and the cozy domestic interior. Edelfelt’s masterful brushwork captures a timeless sense of childhood innocence and companionship.
