About the piece
Painted in 1881 by Christian Krohg, this work is a defining example of Norwegian Social Realism. The composition focuses on a young girl leaning against a large pillow, her direct gaze and the presence of a fallen rose creating a powerful, contemplative atmosphere typical of Krohg's empathetic approach to his subjects.
