About the piece

Painted in 1867 by Karl Emanuel Jansson, this soulful portrait captures an elderly woman in a moment of quiet serenity. The artist masterfully handles the textures of her ruffled white bonnet and the heavy red fabric of her garment, set against a muted, atmospheric background that emphasizes her gentle expression.
