About the piece

Painted in 1899, 'White Doors, Strandgade 30' is a quintessential work by Danish master Vilhelm Hammershøi. Focusing on the architectural elements of his own home in Copenhagen, Hammershøi uses a restrained palette of grays and whites to create a profound sense of stillness, poetic melancholy, and timeless elegance.
