About the piece
Painted in 1885 by the renowned Danish artist Peder Severin Krøyer, this oil study depicts fellow Skagen painter Carl Locher. The work showcases Krøyer's mastery of light and texture, particularly in the contrast between the crisp white collar and the deep, rich tones of the cap against a painterly background.
