DescriptionDescription: Elisabeth Warling studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and at the Académie Colarossi in Paris. Her paintings are characterised by their free, masterly brushwork and effects of light, which set her apart from most other Swedes in Paris at the time. In this portrait, Warling has used the pastel quality in a way that enhances the light on the model’s face and blouse. This was formerly believed to be a portrait of her colleague Eva Bonnier, but there is nothing to substantiate this assumption.
