About the piece
Painted in 1885 by Bertha Wegmann, this evocative portrait depicts Cecilie Trier in a quiet moment of reflection. The composition is masterfully handled, contrasting the deep, rich tones of the sitter's dress against the bright, sun-drenched curtains and the warm golden upholstery of the armchair, creating a scene of dignified domesticity.
