About the piece
Created in 1885 by Peder Severin Krøyer, this masterly pastel depicts the Danish actor Emil Poulsen and his wife Anna. The work is celebrated for its sophisticated handling of light, as the warm glow of the kerosene lamp defines the intimate space and highlights the quiet connection between the couple.
