About this work

This painting shows an older person with white hair sitting outside. They’re holding a woven basket in their hands, wearing a light-colored shawl over a dark dress. Behind them is a grassy field with a red barn and trees in the distance. The basket looks handmade, with visible stitches and a simple rope handle. The brushstrokes are loose, especially in the background, making the scene feel natural. Next, look up Edelfelt, Albert to see more of his work.
