About the piece

Painted in 1883 by Finnish artist Maria Wiik, this oil on panel study radiates warmth and spontaneity. The piece showcases the artist's masterful handling of light and texture, particularly in the girl's rosy complexion and the loose, energetic strokes defining her hair and clothing, typical of the late 19th-century European realism and budding impressionism.
