About the piece
Painted in 1915, this portrait by Erik Werenskiold captures the artist's son, Dagfin, with a direct and contemplative gaze. The work demonstrates Werenskiold's transition toward a modern, simplified aesthetic, utilizing a harmonious palette of cool blues and earthy browns, punctuated by the deep green of the subject's beret.
