About the piece
Painted in 1848 by Adolph Tidemand, this oil study captures Gunild Olsdatter in the intricate traditional dress of Tinn, Norway. The work showcases the artist's mastery of light, particularly in the delicate rendering of the subject's face and the crisp white of her sleeves against a moody, textured background.
