About the piece

Painted in 1884 by Finnish artist Albert Edelfelt, this intimate portrait depicts his sister, Berta, with remarkable psychological depth. The vibrant crimson of her hat creates a masterful contrast with the meticulous white lace of her collar and her deep blue eyes, showcasing Edelfelt's refined technique and sophisticated use of color.
