About the piece
Painted in 1858 by Johan Fredrik Höckert, this portrait captures Såsser Kerstin Andersdotter from Dalarna, Sweden. The work is characterized by its rich, painterly texture and a focused, serene composition. The contrast between the brilliant red of her headband and the muted, rustic tones of her attire creates a timeless piece of European heritage art.
