Selvportræt 1882 - 1898

"Selvportræt" is a self-portrait painted by Danish artist Henry Lørup between 1882 and 1898, just a few years before his death. The painting, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Lørup's introspective nature, captured in the artist's direct gaze and the subtle details of his attire. The painting's muted palette and brushstrokes contribute to a sense of realism and intimacy, characteristics often found in Lørup's oeuvre. It serves as a poignant reflection on the artist's life and artistic development, offering a glimpse into the world of a Danish artist at the turn of the 20th century.
