About the piece

Painted in 1878 by Peder Severin Krøyer, this work depicts a vibrant scene of life in Spain. Two women are seated outside a stone cottage; one delicately arranges roses while the other sews, beside a sleeping infant. The composition is defined by the stark, beautiful contrast of Mediterranean sunlight and deep shadows, set against the sculptural form of a large cactus.
