About this work

This small oil-on-cardboard portrait shows a woman in a dark dress with a white collar. Her face is calm, with soft shadows under her eyes and a faint smile. Olof Arenius painted her around the 1770s. No one knows who she was—just a name on the back, "Rouva Eva Ekeblad." The cardboard gives the paint a matte finish, not like a smooth canvas. Check out another Arenius, Olof at the Museum of Ethnography.
