About the piece
Created around 1890, this portrait depicts Ida Ilsted, the wife and primary muse of Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi. Rendered with his signature restrained palette and soft, ethereal lighting, the work captures a sense of stillness and introspection characteristic of the Danish Symbolist movement.
