Selvportræt 1898

This self-portrait etching by P.S. Krøyer was created in 1898 and is currently held in the collection of the SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The artwork showcases Krøyer, a prominent Danish painter, in a contemplative pose, his face partially obscured by a cap. The use of etching, a printmaking technique involving acid, lends a textured quality to the image, highlighting the artist's characteristically detailed style. This work offers an intimate glimpse into the life of a celebrated artist.
