About this work

A young girl sits outdoors, holding a single pink rose and a sprig of blue flowers. She wears a soft pink dress with black embroidery at the cuffs and hem, white stockings, and red shoes. Behind her, green bushes and a distant landscape blur into a hazy sky. The black embroidery on her dress looks like tiny cross shapes, almost like a pattern you’d see on fabric. The way her sleeve folds over her hand feels real, like you could reach in and touch it. Want to see more by this painter? Check out Lindh, Johan Erik.
