About this artwork
Vilhelm Hammershøi painted this work in 1885. The title tells us what to look for: an elderly woman standing beside a window, a simple scene of a person within an interior. It belongs to the Hirschsprung Collection. Hammershøi, a Danish painter, is known for poetic, subdued portraits and interiors, and this picture sits comfortably within that interest. Rainer Maria Rilke once wrote that his work is wide-ranging and slow, always offering something essential to talk about in art. It is a fitting thought to bring to a painting that asks for patience.
On your wall: Its calm, interior subject suits quiet spaces such as a study, bedroom or hallway, particularly in minimalist homes that favour restraint and a contemplative mood.
