Appraising the Day's Work is a 1883 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
In the image, a woman in a red dress sits in a chair, facing a desk with a mirror, flowers, and papers. A man stands behind her, looking at the papers. The room is dimly lit, with a painting on an easel to the left. The woman's dress and the flowers on the desk add a pop of color to the otherwise muted scene. The mirror on the desk reflects the flowers, adding depth to the image. This painting is reminiscent of the works of the Impressionism movement.
