About the piece

Created in 1917, Karl Nordström's 'Siesta in the Garden' beautifully captures a moment of quiet leisure. The Swedish artist uses a vibrant, post-impressionist palette and expressive brushwork to depict two women on a garden bench, where the play of sunlight through foliage creates a warm, atmospheric glow.
