About the piece
Painted in 1860 by Hjalmar Munsterhjelm, this oil study depicts a woman in traditional Bavarian dress. She stands before a whitewashed wall, her hand raised to shield her eyes from the bright sunlight, which casts a deep, distinct shadow beside her. The earthy tones and rustic subject matter reflect the artist's focus on authentic regional character and the play of light in everyday scenes.
