About the piece
Painted in 1884 by Robert Lundberg, this evocative portrait depicts the Swedish artist Carl Johansson in profile. The work is characterized by its masterful impressionistic brushwork and the delicate rendering of cigarette smoke, which adds a layer of quiet movement to the scholarly atmosphere. The warm, muted palette and dignified subject make it a sophisticated addition to a refined interior.
