About the piece
Painted in 1870 by Norwegian artist Knud Bergslien, this intimate oil study depicts the artist's father, Lars Bergslien. The work showcases exceptional psychological depth and technical skill, particularly in the rendering of the subject's expressive features and luminous white hair against a dark, atmospheric background.
