About the piece
Painted in 1827 by Martinus Rørbye, this Danish Golden Age portrait depicts the elderly artist C.A. Lorentzen in his studio. Surrounded by plaster casts of classical statues, a sleeping dog, and his tools of trade, the composition offers an intimate look into the creative life of a 19th-century master, rendered with meticulous realism.
