Together with Julíana Sveinsdóttir, Kristín Jónsdóttir played a pioneering role in Iceland as a modern female artist. They were both associated with Jón Stefánsson who initially encouraged them to follow the style of Cézanne and Impressionism. Jónsdóttir frequently depicted women at work. Her early landscapes often have an Impressionistic look but with time she developed her own style with freer brushstrokes and stronger colour. (from Wikipedia)
