About the piece
Painted in 1910 by Anna Ancher, this work depicts the artist's mother, Ane Brøndum, immersed in a book. The composition is celebrated for its masterful handling of light, contrasting the warm glow of the 'Red Room' with the cool, ethereal blue tones of the adjacent space, characteristic of the Skagen painters' style.
