books0977:After the Sitting (1884). Richard Bergh (Swedish, 1858-1919). Oil on canvas. Malmö Konsthall. The painting was first shown at the Paris Salon in 1884. The modernity of the work made a big impression on the contemporary Swedish art critics but they were also shocked by the half-clothed model and the relentless daylight coming in from the studio skylights. The painting depicts an everyday event of an artist’s reality as faithfully as possible. -- source link
