About the piece
Painted in 1887 by Viggo Johansen, this oil on canvas work depicts his wife, Martha, in their home. The composition masterfully uses natural light to illuminate a peaceful domestic scene, from the steam rising off the stove to the rows of plates on the shelves, reflecting the warmth and simplicity of late 19th-century rural life.
