About the piece
Painted in 1861 by Karl Emanuel Jansson, this work is a masterful copy after the Baroque artist Carlo Dolci. The painting captures a moment of spiritual or emotional intensity through soft lighting and luminous skin tones, characteristic of the classical tradition that flourished through the mid-19th century.
