"Eilif Peterssen" is an oil painting by Danish artist Peder Severin Krøyer, dating from 1883. The painting portrays a portrait of Eilif Peterssen, a fellow artist and close friend of Krøyer. The sitter is rendered in profile, wearing a dark beret and glasses. The painting showcases Krøyer's skillful brushwork, with a loose and expressive style, capturing the essence of his subject through subtle variations of light and shadow. It is a prime example of portraiture from the late 19th century and is indicative of Krøyer's artistic mastery in this genre.
