About the piece
Painted in 1849 by Hedevig Lund, this evocative portrait features a young woman dressed in traditional folk attire, known as a Bunad. She leans thoughtfully on a balcony rail, with a detailed silver brooch catching the light. Behind her, the soft blues and whites of a mountainous landscape create a serene, romantic atmosphere, exemplifying 19th-century Norwegian National Romanticism and the celebration of regional heritage.
