About the piece
Painted in 1882 by Bertha Wegmann, this portrait depicts her sister, Anna Seekamp, in a moment of quiet domesticity. The work showcases Wegmann's masterful control of light and texture, from the soft sheen of the yarn to the intricate ruffles of the black dress against a moody, atmospheric background.
