About the piece
This 1886 oil study by Peder Severin Krøyer captures fellow artist Marianne Stokes in a striking side profile. The work is characterized by the artist's celebrated ability to render light, visible here in the delicate glow of the sitter's skin contrasted against the bold, impasto strokes of her oversized red hat.
