About the piece
Painted in 1868, this intimate portrait by Danish master Carl Bloch depicts his wife, Alma. The work showcases Bloch's technical precision and mastery of light, from the delicate rendering of her features to the rich textures of her velvet cap and jewelry against a soft, atmospheric background.
