His attire, slightly speckled with the stains of his craft, reflects a life dedicated to art. The painter holds a cane and points with his other hand, directing attention possibly towards his work or sharing a thought about his artistic approach.The backdrop, though slightly obscured, mirrors the natural environments that Skånberg was known for painting, suggesting both the setting in which he worked and the source of his inspiration.
