About this work

This painting shows a woman in a white cap and apron standing in front of a stove. She’s holding a long wooden spoon, looking slightly to the side, with a red skirt and dark apron. The stove behind her has a pot and a kettle on top, and the room looks warm and dim. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the painting a soft, sketchy feel. The artist focused on light and shadow to show her face and clothes clearly. Next, look up Edelfelt, Albert to see how he painted other everyday scenes.
