"The Painter Karl Isakson" is a 1910 portrait by Danish artist Harald Giersing. The painting, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts Karl Isakson in profile. Giersing's characteristic brushstrokes, visible in the subject's hair and clothing, give the painting a sense of dynamism. This intimate portrait exemplifies the expressive style of Danish modernism in the early 20th century.
