Portrait of the Painter Edvard Weie
1850
unspecified
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows a close-up face with a wide-brimmed hat. The colors are rough and bold—bright orange skin, a dark hat, and a faded brick wall background. Brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like the paint was scraped on. The artist left the face slightly blurred, focusing more on the texture of the hat and wall. The hat looks worn, with a faded band and creases. If you like this style, check out *impasto*.
