"Study of a Female Model" (1879-1882) by Bertha Wegmann (1846-1926) is a realistic oil painting depicting a young woman in a simple white garment, her gaze directed towards the viewer with an air of introspection. Wegmann, a Danish artist known for her portraits and figure studies, captures the model's form and expression with sensitivity, showcasing her mastery of light and shadow. The painting is currently part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark, and serves as a testament to Wegmann's artistic talent and her exploration of female identity in her art.
