About the piece

Created in 1915 by Michael Ancher, this portrait of Danish scholar Georg Brandes is a masterclass in the Skagen style of Impressionism. The artist uses a sophisticated palette of grays and ochres, applied with confident, visible strokes that give the subject a powerful physical and intellectual presence.
