About the piece

Painted in 1882 by Sophie Werenskiold, this oil on canvas captures a quiet moment of contemplation. A woman in a refined dark dress and straw hat is absorbed in her book, seated on a green garden bench beside a curving path that leads the eye into the soft, leafy background of a quiet estate or public park.
