Alvilde Hansen, the Artist’s Sister is a 1827 oil by Constantin Hansen, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting features a young girl with dark hair, dressed in a dark-colored dress with a white collar. She is intently focused on a piece of fabric in her hands. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth to the portrait. The subject's face is illuminated, while the background remains in shadow.
