About the piece

Painted in 1889 by Gunnar Berndtson, this work is a masterpiece of late nineteenth-century genre painting, emphasizing fashion, light, and interior refinement. The woman is depicted in profile, her striking green dress and ornate feathered hat contrasting beautifully against the muted tones of a background tapestry and a polished wooden commode. The gilded mirror reflects her quiet contemplation, capturing a private, polished moment of high-society life.
