About the piece

Painted in 1884 by Peder Severin Krøyer, this intimate profile portrait depicts his contemporary and fellow artist Anna Ancher. The work is a stunning example of the Skagen Painters' style, defined by luminous outdoor light and thick impasto that brings tactile reality to the straw hat and lace collar.
