About the piece
This 1880 portrait by Finnish artist Maria Wiik captures her sister, Hilda, with a refined sensitivity. The contrast between the crisp white ruffled collar and the dark garment creates a striking focus on the subject's thoughtful expression, while the soft, impressionistic floral background adds a touch of atmospheric charm.
