About the piece
This 1872 oil portrait by Peder Severin Krøyer captures Bertha Cecilie Krøyer with a dignified and serene expression. The striking contrast between the deep, velvet-like black of her dress and the delicate white lace accents creates a timeless, scholarly aesthetic characteristic of 19th-century European formal portraiture.
