About the piece

Painted in 1880 by Ernst Josephson, this portrait of Anna Bagge showcases a masterful handle of texture and light. The subject is depicted in a formal black gown adorned with delicate white lace, her steady gaze framed by a feathered hat, while the bright floral bouquet provides a soft, organic counterpoint to the dramatic, moody red background.
