About the piece
Created in 1884 by Swedish artist Jenny Nyström, 'The Convalescent' is a masterful example of late 19th-century realism. The painting captures a delicate moment of domestic life, focusing on the soft play of light across the textures of the sickroom—from the rumpled white pillow and striped blanket to the vibrant orange on the bedside stool.
