About the piece
This sophisticated 1900 portrait by Robert Thegerström depicts the renowned Swedish composer and pianist Vilhelm Stenhammar. Painted in a realist style with strong chiaroscuro, the work captures Stenhammar in deep concentration at his instrument, his hands illuminated against the dark silhouette of the grand piano. The moody, scholarly atmosphere makes it a quintessential example of old-world Swedish portraiture.
