More about this artwork

The "Portrait of Nenna Janson Nagel, b. Backer Lunde" painted by Harriet Backer in 1892 is a striking example of the artist's mastery in capturing the essence of her subjects through her innovative use of light and color. This portrait showcases the artist's niece, presenting her in a contemplative state, her gaze seemingly directed towards something beyond the viewer’s sight, evoking a sense of introspection.In this painting, Backer employs a somber palette dominantly featuring shades of dark blue and muted browns, which accentuates the solemnity and depth of the young woman’s expression. The brushwork is loose and expressive, allowing the colors to blend into each other, while maintaining enough detail to convey the delicate features of Janson Nagel’s face. Her red hair and lightly flushed cheeks provide a subtle contrast to the overall dark attire and background, drawing attention to her face as the focal point of the composition.Harriet Backer, known for her detailed domestic and interior scenes, here focuses her attentions on a deeply personal subject, giving the viewer a glimpse into the private world of a young woman at the turn of the 20th century.
