Vilhelm Hammersh
I would be surprised if anyone know this outstanding danish painter.
His palette was limited to four shades of gray. He always mixed his blackish, brownish, greenish and violet grays the same place on the palette, so that the paint had formed "oyster shells".
He took great care in composing and treated the same motive several times. Most of his paintings were interiors, with a single person, from his own home.
This portrait represent his sister Anna, 112 x 91 CM, painted in 1885.
