More about this artwork

We are delighted to present a captivating piece from our collection: "Portrait of the Artist’s First Wife née Klemming" (1887) by the renowned Swedish painter Richard Bergh. This intimate portrait features Bergh's first wife, capturing her in a moment of gentle repose.The painting is particularly striking for its close focus on the subject's face, which fills the canvas with a quiet intensity. Her expression is serene yet enigmatic, her pale blue eyes gazing subtly off to the side, suggesting a moment of introspection or distant contemplation. The soft rendering of her features contrasts with the darker, muted tones of her attire, highlighting her face amidst the shadowy hues.An element of warmth is introduced through the rich red background on one side, providing a vibrant contrast that frames her visage gracefully. The strategic brushstrokes and use of color not only define her features with delicate precision but also enhance the emotional depth of the portrait.This painting showcases Bergh's skill in creating a powerful emotional connection through portraiture, capturing the essence of his subject with both realism and sensitivity.

Sven Richard Bergh (1858–1919) was a Swedish painter, art critic and museum manager. Despite many years in France, he remained unattracted to Impressionism, preferring instead the Naturalism of painters such as Jules Bastien-Lepage. He also rejected the idea of creating landscapes en plein aire.
