About the piece
Painted in 1840 by Johan Erik Lindh, this oil portrait depicts the Finnish authoress Sara Wacklin. The work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the translucent lace of her shawl and bonnet, and the luminous quality of her jewelry, set against a deep, moody background.
