About the piece
Painted in 1883 by Peder Severin Krøyer, this intimate portrait study depicts fellow artist Eilif Peterssen. The work showcases Krøyer's masterful handling of light and texture, using expressive, confident strokes to define the sitter's profile against a neutral, atmospheric background typical of the Skagen painters.
