More about this artwork
This painting by Peter Hansen depicts a profile portrait of his daughter, affectionately nicknamed "Bimse". The work is characterized by its expressive brush strokes and the bold use of black ink, which adds a striking contrast against the tan paper. The artist has effectively captured the gentle curvature of the child's face, emphasized by the sweeping lines of her hair and the soft features of her cheek and eye.The seemingly impromptu style gives the portrait a sense of immediacy and intimacy. It appears as though the artist has quickly sketched this portrait, capturing a fleeting moment in his daughter's life, portraying not just her appearance but also a glimpse of her youthful spirit and demeanor.The brushwork is loose, with dynamic and somewhat abstracted lines that suggest movement and a playful energy, which might reflect the child's personality. Overall, the artwork reflects a tender fatherly affection and an artist’s appreciation for the spontaneous moments that characterize childhood.

Coastal scenes, portraits, and art nudes by Peter Hansen (1868-1928). Hansen was a Danish painter known for his Impressionist style and his depictions of Danish landscapes and coastal scenes. In the 1890s, he traveled to Paris to study under some of the leading Impressionist painters of the time, such as Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro. The French Impressionist movement had a major influence on Hansen's work, and he began to develop a style that combined the Impressionist techniques of broken color and light with the strong tradition of Danish landscape painting.
