About the piece
Painted in Rome in 1886 by Axel Jungstedt, this spirited portrait depicts the architect Aron Johansson in a moment of musical contemplation. Wearing a characteristic wide-brimmed hat and smoking a cigar, the sitter is rendered with confident, painterly brushstrokes that perfectly capture the casual elegance of 19th-century bohemian life.
