Selvportræt i lampelys 1939

"Selvportræt i lampelys" (Self-Portrait in Lamplight) is a watercolor painting by Danish artist John Christensen, created in 1939, a year before his death. This intimate portrait captures the artist's brooding gaze and contemplative expression as he smokes a pipe, reflecting the melancholic mood of the late 1930s. Christensen's signature use of bold, expressive lines and vibrant, contrasting colors lends the artwork a distinctive energy, characteristic of his personal style. The painting is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
