About the piece
This 1890 oil study by Danish artist Michael Ancher depicts Gerda Ahlborn in a striking side profile. The work showcases the characteristic light and texture of the Skagen school, with confident, loose brushstrokes defining the intricate folds of the sitter's white hat against a soft, neutral background.
