About the piece
Painted in 1891 by Hanna Hirsch-Pauli, this intimate oil study captures her three-month-old son, Göran, as he discovers the glow of a candle for the first time. The work is characterized by luminous brushwork and a soft, airy atmosphere that emphasizes the wonder of early childhood.
