About the piece
Painted in 1890 by Bertha Wegmann, this luminous portrait depicts the Swedish pianist Hanna Lucia Bauck. The work is characterized by its bold, expressive brushstrokes and a masterful handling of light that creates a shimmering, sun-drenched atmosphere, typical of the late 19th-century impressionist influence.
