About the piece
Painted around 1810 by Swedish master Pehr Hilleström, this work provides a fascinating ethnographic glimpse into the traditional life of the Sámi people. The composition features a group in vibrant blue and red garments gathered near a lavvu tent, accompanied by a reindeer and a resting dog against a backdrop of rugged mountains.
