Portræt af Kaj Eistrup 1927 - 1929

"Portræt af Kaj Eistrup" is a 1927-1929 etching by Danish artist Alfred Simonsen. The small, intimate portrait depicts Kaj Eistrup, a fellow artist and close friend of Simonsen. The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Simonsen's characteristic expressive style with bold lines and a sense of depth created through cross-hatching. The portrait captures Eistrup's somber mood, perhaps suggesting a moment of contemplation or introspection, as his gaze is directed downwards. This work stands as a testament to Simonsen's talent for capturing character and emotion through the medium of etching, revealing his unique artistic voice within the Danish art scene of the early 20th century.
