About the piece
Painted around 1840 by Norwegian artist Mathias Stoltenberg, this portrait depicts Doctor Christian August Egeberg with a sensitive, contemplative expression. The work is characterized by the artist's masterful use of light across the sitter's face and the high-contrast arrangement of dark attire against a muted, atmospheric background, reflecting the Romantic-era focus on individual character.
