About the piece
Painted in 1871 by Adolph Tidemand, this evocative portrait captures a young girl, Sella Larsdatter Vikør, in traditional Norwegian folk costume. Seated upon a weathered log against a shadowy backdrop, her blonde hair and patterned apron provide a soft focal point of light and color, showcasing Tidemand's masterful handling of the Düsseldorf school style.
