About the piece
In this 1888 self-portrait, Peder Severin Krøyer, a leading member of the Skagen Painters, masterfully captures the atmospheric light of the Danish coast. Depicted in a wide-brimmed sun hat and holding a brush to canvas, Krøyer presents himself against a serene blue sea, illustrating the plein-air technique and luminous color palette for which he is renowned.
