About the piece
Painted in 1872 by August Jerndorff, this striking portrait depicts Professor Hans Matthison-Hansen, the cathedral organist in Roskilde. The work captures the sitter in a moment of quiet intensity, with his profile illuminated against a deep green curtain and the intricate mechanical details of the organ's stops and keys.
