Portræt af lærer N. P. Andersen 1885 - 1886

"Portræt af lærer N. P. Andersen" is a pastel drawing on paper by Danish artist L.A. Ring, created between 1885 and 1886. The portrait depicts a man in profile, capturing his features with delicate strokes and subtle shading. Ring's use of muted tones, particularly the blue background, creates a sense of intimacy and introspective mood. The work, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), exemplifies Ring's focus on capturing the essence of his subjects, reflecting the naturalistic style of Danish art in the late 19th century.
