About the piece
Painted in 1887 by Swedish artist Eva Bonnier, this intimate portrait depicts a woman named Magdalena resting against plush white pillows. The work is characterized by its soft, luminous light and a delicate color palette dominated by the pale blue of the sitter's garment and the intricate cream lace of her vest, showcasing Bonnier's masterful technique and sensitive portrayal of a quiet, reflective moment.
