About the piece
In this 1918 self-portrait, Norwegian artist Johanne Mathilde Dietrichson depicts herself in the twilight of her career, holding the tools of her trade. The composition is a masterclass in capturing the specific qualities of 'electrical light,' which casts a warm, focused glow on her features and creates deep, atmospheric shadows in the background of her studio.
