About the piece
Painted in 1890 by Julius Paulsen, this masterful oil portrait depicts the artist Lorens Frölich. The work features a striking contrast between the richly rendered dark figure and an ethereal, light-filled background containing ghostly, sketch-like figures, conveying a sense of scholarly wisdom and quiet dignity.
