About the piece
Painted in 1904 by the renowned Finnish artist Hugo Simberg, this portrait of Marie von Heiroth exudes a gentle, intimate atmosphere. The sitter's direct gaze and relaxed pose are complemented by a soft palette of ochre and muted blue, with subtle symbolic details like the butterfly motifs on the chair behind her.
