Noorse bruid met bruidskroon 1883

Carl Bloch's 1883 etching, "Noorse bruid met bruidskroon," depicts a young woman, possibly a bride, sitting in a chair. She wears a traditional Norwegian crown, a richly ornamented garment, and her long hair falls down her back. The detail of the woman's crown and dress, along with the artist's signature in the bottom corner, suggests Bloch's interest in historical accuracy and the cultural identity of his Scandinavian subjects. The etching, measuring 212 mm by 156 mm, captures a moment of quiet contemplation, showcasing Bloch's skill in representing both the intricate details and the subtle emotions of his sitter.
