About the piece
Painted in 1837, this oil study by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg depicts the model Peter Kristrup in a contemplative seated pose. A leading figure in the Danish Golden Age, Eckersberg is renowned for bringing a meticulous sense of anatomy and clear, rational light to his works, as seen here in the nuanced rendering of the figure against the deep, atmospheric background.
