Christian Krohg, Oda Krohg, 1888, oil on canvas, National Museum, Oslo, Norway
Norwegian artist Christian Krohg (1852-1925) was renowned for his realistic style, often drawn to everyday subjects in the world around him. He also immortalized his family, such as his wife painter Oda (1860-1935) posing in the striking portrait above and with their son Per (1889-1965), in the intimate scene below. Later Per would follow the same career as his parents.
