The Artist's Wife by Lamplight 1898

"The Artist's Wife by Lamplight" (1898) by Danish artist L.A. Ring depicts his wife, seated in a dimly lit room, reading a book illuminated by a lamp. The artwork is characterized by the artist's use of muted tones and soft light, creating a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation. The presence of several framed pictures in the background alludes to the artistic environment of the couple's home. This painting, housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Copenhagen, exemplifies Ring's signature style of realism and his exploration of everyday life and domesticity.
