About this work

Overview

Lorenz Frølich’s 1859 oil painting Fru Lina Frølich med solhat portrays a woman in a large white sun hat, rendered from the waist up. The work is part of the collection of Denmark’s Statens Museum for Kunst and exemplifies the artist’s mid‑nineteenth‑century portraiture.

Subject & Meaning

The sitter, identified as Lina Frølich, is shown with a neutral expression, her gaze directed downward and her eyebrows gently furrowed, suggesting a moment of quiet introspection. The composition focuses on the contrast between the bright hat and the darker dress, emphasizing personal presence over narrative.

Technique & Style

Frølich employs a muted palette of greens, yellows, browns, and whites, using soft brushwork to model the fabric and hat. The hat’s wide brim and small crown are highlighted by a blue underside, while the background’s mottled tones provide a subdued setting that does not compete with the figure.

History & Provenance

Created in 1859, the portrait entered the holdings of the Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark’s national gallery, where it remains on display. No further changes of ownership are recorded in the museum’s acquisition records.
