Hans Jæger 1889

"Hans Jæger" (1889) is a portrait painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, known for his expressive and psychologically charged works. The painting depicts the Norwegian writer Hans Jæger, a prominent figure in the literary and artistic scene of late 19th-century Norway. Jæger is portrayed seated in a chair, wearing a blue suit and a hat, with a glass of liquid on a table beside him. The painting's subdued palette and somewhat somber expression create a sense of introspective contemplation.
