About the piece
Painted in 1906, this oil portrait by Swedish artist Ivar Arosenius depicts his wife, Eva. The composition is defined by the bold silhouette of her large black hat and dark attire, which contrast beautifully with the subtle, painterly texture of the light background, creating a piece that is both grounded and sophisticated.
