About the piece

Painted in 1915, this work by Norwegian artist Harriet Backer captures the quiet atmosphere of her neighborhood at Hansteensgate 2. The composition balances the solid forms of city architecture with the fluid, expressive strokes of garden trees, all unified by a harmonious, muted color palette characteristic of her late Impressionist style.
