About the piece

This 1885 oil painting by Bertha Wegmann captures the artist Marie Triepcke in a moment of quiet repose. Seated in a small boat amidst lush greenery, the subject's intricate ivory gown and pearls are rendered with masterful detail, characteristic of late 19th-century European portraiture.
