About the piece
Painted in 1895 by the celebrated Skagen painter Peder Severin Krøyer, this portrait of Sophus Schandorph is a masterclass in light and character. The luminous lamp on the desk creates a striking contrast, casting rich shadows while highlighting the sitter's lively, laughing expression—a fine example of the atmospheric lighting for which Krøyer is renowned.
