Description |
When Holger Drachmann died in 1908, the Museum at Frederiksborg commissioned Krøyer with a portrait of him. Krøyer could just have repeated his 1895 portrait, but instead he looked at his neighbour. The dune warden Ole Kristoffersen had exactly the same stature as the late poet. Tall, with somewhat narrow shoulders, blue eyes and a white beard. In the attic of the mayor's house in Skagen stood Drachmann's trunk with all his clothes, and they fitted Kristoffersen neatly. The result was a portrait of Kristoffersen that Krøyer gave an uncanny likeness to Drachmann by adding his facial features including the well known stare into infinity, and it became the basis of the similarly sized portrait. |
