Portræt af Svend Hammershøi, kunstnerens bror 1883 - 1886

"Portræt af Svend Hammershøi, kunstnerens bror" is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi, created between 1883 and 1886. The artwork depicts the artist's brother, Svend, in a simple, realistic style, capturing his youthful features and the gentle curve of his neck. This intimate portrait, with its focus on the sitter's face and the delicate strokes of pencil, exemplifies Hammershøi's early mastery of drawing, foreshadowing his later signature style of stark realism and atmospheric depictions of everyday life. The artwork is currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
