About the piece
Painted in 1904 by Swedish artist Richard Bergh, this portrait of merchant Julius Caspar exemplifies the artist's ability to blend psychological depth with painterly richness. The subject is depicted in a moment of repose, his figure set against a deep green backdrop that emphasizes the luminous rendering of his face and the tactile quality of his formal attire.
