Alva and Gunnar Myrdal were two of the most influential public figures in 20th-century Sweden. Their ideas on community planning, social justice and gender equality significantly contributed to Social Democratic policy from the 1930s onwards. We see them here in their shared office. The painting can be seen as a symbol of the modern Swedish welfare state, where women and men were expected to work on equal terms.
