Portrait of the Painter and Lithographer P.H. Gemzøe 1833

Christen Købke's "Portrait of the Painter and Lithographer P.H. Gemzøe" is a striking oil painting that exemplifies the artist's characteristic realism. Created in 1833, the portrait captures Gemzøe, a fellow artist, with remarkable detail, highlighting his youthful features and intelligent gaze. The dark background, typical of Købke's works, further emphasizes the subject's presence and adds a sense of solemnity to the composition. This work is now part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and stands as a testament to Købke's skill in portraying individual character within a meticulously rendered setting.
