Florence Abrahamson, Interior Scene With Seated Woman

Florence Abrahamson, Interior Scene With Seated WomanAn enigmatic interior scene by Swedish Danish artist, Florence Olga Abrahamson (1877 1965). Its a piece that gives you a little more every time you view it. Whats the story here? Why is she sitting with her back turned to the window? Are the flowers deliberately shown as drawn towards the light? Could this be a symbolic reference for a woman trapped within her society? Abrahamson was of Jewish descent and spent her early years in Holland Park, London.
