About the piece
Painted in 1903 by Oda Krohg, this portrait of Aasta Hansteen exemplifies the artist's ability to convey character through mood and color. The subject is rendered with quiet dignity, seated against a background of deep indigos and forest greens that emphasize the luminous, painterly treatment of the sitter's features.
