Portrait of the Painter Nils Kreuger is a 1883 unspecified by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
A man with a thick beard and dark coat sits in a dim room, his hands resting on his knees. His clothes look worn, and a small red patch shows on his lapel. Brushes and a jar sit on a table beside him, while another small painting hangs on the wall behind. This portrait shows a painter at work, surrounded by his tools. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the scene a lived-in feel. Next, check out impasto to see how thick paint can create texture.
