About the piece

Painted in 1891 by Albert Edelfelt, this oil on canvas depicts the artist's wife and Emilia von Etter on a balcony in Cannes. The work exemplifies the light-filled, airy aesthetic of late 19th-century impressionism, using loose brushwork to capture the vibrant blue of the sea and the hazy atmosphere of the French Riviera.
