The Architect Thorvald Bindesbøll 1904

Vilhelm Hammershøi's "The Architect Thorvald Bindesbøll" (1904) is a portrait of the Danish architect Thorvald Bindesbøll, a renowned figure in the late 19th and early 20th century Danish architecture. Known for his minimalist style, Hammershøi captures Bindesbøll in a somber and contemplative pose, seated in a chair with his back to the viewer. The painting is dominated by muted tones of browns and grays, typical of Hammershøi's work. It currently resides at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
