About the piece
Painted in 1910 by Swedish artist Nils von Dardel, this portrait of art collector Rolf De Maré exemplifies the artist's unique modernist style. The subject's elegant attire—a bold yellow suit and lavender waistcoat—is juxtaposed with a dreamlike background of swirling blue waters, fiery red cliffs, and ethereal white trees, creating a striking and sophisticated decorative piece.
