The Bride's Maid is a 1905 by Anders Zorn, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a woman in a long, dark dress, with a white apron and cap, standing in front of a window. She is holding a tray with a teapot and cups. The woman's face is blurred, and her features are not clearly defined. The background of the painting is dark, with the window being the only source of light. The overall mood of the painting is somber and subdued. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's attention to the woman and the window.
