About the piece
Painted around 1840 by François-Auguste Biard, this evocative work captures a moment of daily life inside a traditional Sami dwelling. The dramatic play of firelight against the tent's structural poles creates a warm, intimate atmosphere that highlights the rich textures of the traditional garments and the rugged Arctic environment.
