About the piece
Painted in 1881 by Finnish artist Maria Wiik, this portrait depicts Hilda Wiik in a moment of quiet contemplation. The subject is rendered with delicate precision against a textured, neutral background, her dark Victorian attire contrasted beautifully by crisp white lace and the rich tones of an upholstered gothic-style chair.
