Harriet Backer painted this 1883 interior scene suffused with blue light. A figure sits in a domestic space where soft illumination transforms everyday objects. The Norwegian artist was known for her masterful handling of interior light and color.
Backer studied in Paris and brought Impressionist color sensibility home to Scandinavia. Her quiet domestic subjects carry emotional weight. The painting, measuring 84 cm × 66 cm, hangs at the National Gallery of Norway in Oslo.
