About the piece
Painted in 1881 by Bertha Wegmann, this evocative oil study demonstrates a masterful command of light and texture. The subject’s thoughtful expression and the luminous rendering of her white garment create a powerful sense of presence, typical of Wegmann's naturalistic and intimate approach to portraiture.
