About the piece
Painted in 1898 by Norwegian artist Asta Nørregaard, this luminous pastel portrait depicts Benedikte Sophie Kaltenborn with remarkable delicacy. The work highlights the artist's mastery of the pastel medium, particularly in the airy, translucent rendering of the sitter's ruffled white gown and the gentle, atmospheric quality of the green backdrop.
