About this work

This painting shows a woman in a white dress sitting on a rocky hillside. She is looking directly at the viewer. The background is a blue sky and a body of water with greenery on the far side. The overall mood is calm and serene. The woman's dress is long-sleeved and floor-length, and it appears to be made of a lightweight material. Her hair is dark and styled in a bob. The rocky hillside she is sitting on is covered in greenery, and there are trees and bushes in the background. The painting is done in oil paint and has a dreamy, ethereal quality to it. The artist, Björn Ahlgrensson, used a range of blues and greens to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. You might also like to check out the work of artist Björn Ahlgrensson.
