About the piece
Painted in 1886 by Swedish artist Richard Bergh, this portrait of his wife exudes a quiet, domestic warmth. The composition masterfully contrasts her dark, structured dress with the airy, blue-and-white patterned fabric on her lap, all illuminated by a soft light from a nearby window.
