About the piece
Painted in 1887 by Oda Krohg, this impressionistic work depicts her husband, the fellow artist Christian Krohg, at his easel. The painting is characterized by rapid, visible brushwork and a soft, airy palette that captures the fleeting light of an outdoor session. This intimate study offers a glimpse into the creative process and the everyday life of one of Norway's most prominent artistic couples.
