Fotoreproductie van een schilderij van een portret van Otto Didrik Ottesen door Peder Severin Krøyer before 1879

This photograph, taken before 1879, is a reproduction of a portrait of Otto Didrik Ottesen painted by Peder Severin Krøyer. Created by Johannes Jaeger (1832-1908), this small-scale photo, measuring 175 mm high and 130 mm wide, depicts the artist Ottesen in a seated pose, holding a palette knife and paintbrush. The photograph captures Ottesen's stern expression and features a detailed rendering of his beard and clothing, conveying a sense of realism and precision. Jaeger's work, though a reproduction of an original painting, offers a glimpse into the artistic practices and sensibilities of the late 19th century.
