More about this artwork

On our website, we are honored to showcase "Portrait of the Painter Kitty Kielland," a masterful work of art completed in 1883 by the celebrated Norwegian artist Harriet Backer. This portrait vividly captures Kitty Kielland, herself a pioneering painter in the Norwegian art scene, known particularly for her stunning landscapes.In the painting, Kitty Kielland is depicted in a relaxed, yet somber posture, seated comfortably against a plush, forest-green armchair. Her attire is elegant and restrained, featuring a dark blue dress complemented by a delicate lace collar and crisp, white cuffs. A small, ornate brooch and dark ribbon add subtle touches of refinement.Backer's use of lighting in the portrait softly illuminates Kielland's face and hands, bringing a gentle warmth to her thoughtful expression. The composed demeanor and direct gaze of Kielland reflect her strength and determination as a female artist in the 19th-century art world. The background is subdued, with the dark tones highlighting the subject and conveying a sense of depth and introspection.This painting not only represents a remarkable work of art but also symbolizes the friendship and mutual respect between two groundbreaking female artists of their time.
