Anna Ancher often painted local Skagen women sewing, reading, plaiting their hair in plain interiors, with perhaps just a few flowers, and lovely, golden light daylight creating the kind of "petit pan de mur jaune" (little patch of yellow on the wall) which so entrances Proust's narrator when he looks at Vermeer's work. The Dulwich Picture Gallery has embraced the theme as this review explains: "The luscious pale yellow walls of the first two galleries immediately immerse you in what Ancher is most known for: her remarkably radical practice of painting light'". This is Fishermans's Wife Sewing (c1890 Randers Museum of Art).
