About the piece

Painted in 1896 by Johan Rohde, this oil on canvas portrait depicts fellow artist Kristian Zahrtmann. The composition features a striking contrast between the dark weight of the sitter's attire and the pale background, accented by the delicate touch of a small plant held in the subject's hands.
