About the piece
Painted in 1893 by Finnish artist Anna Sahlstén, this oil on canvas depicts a poignant scene in a children's hospital. The composition masterfully uses light from tall windows to illuminate the subjects, highlighting a mother's embrace and the quiet diligence of the nursing staff in the background. It is a striking example of Nordic social realism.
