Sunday Morning 1882

"Sunday Morning" (1882) by Norwegian artist Christian Krohg (1852-1925) depicts a woman standing in front of a building, holding a book. The painting, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures a moment of quiet contemplation. Krohg's use of naturalism and realism is evident in the detailed portrayal of the woman's clothing and the subtle play of light and shadow. The work exemplifies Krohg's focus on everyday life and social commentary, offering a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people in 19th-century Norway.
