About the piece
This 1911 self-portrait captures Danish master Vilhelm Hammershøi in the interior of the 'Spurveskjul' cottage. Characteristic of his celebrated style, the work utilizes a limited palette of greys and warm neutrals to create a sense of profound stillness and poetic melancholy, typical of early 20th-century Scandinavian interiors.
