About the piece

Painted in 1901 by Vilhelm Hammershøi, this evocative work captures a room in the artist's home at Strandgade 30, Copenhagen. Featuring his wife, Ida, the painting is a hallmark of Hammershøi’s style, known for its restricted palette of grays and whites and its focus on the architectural stillness of domestic life bathed in soft northern light.
