About the piece

Painted in 1898 by the Danish master Peder Severin Krøyer, this intimate portrait captures Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg at the piano with his wife, the lyric soprano Nina Grieg. The composition uses dramatic chiaroscuro to emphasize the emotional and artistic bond between the couple, bathed in a warm, low light that highlights Krøyer's sophisticated brushwork.
