About the piece
Painted in 1887 by Danish master P.S. Krøyer, this striking profile portrait depicts his contemporary, the artist Thorvald Niss. The work is a testament to Krøyer's command of light and texture, featuring rich impasto in the maroon beret and a warm, luminous glow across the sitter's features.
