The human presence at the heart of everyday life: the Portrait of the Farmer Sten Tollefsen of Sandaak by Adolph Tidemand
In this portrait, the sober composition focuses attention on the face and posture of the peasant, rendered with an earthy palette and soft lighting.

The atmosphere is both intimate and documentary: one feels the strength of character and rural life of the 19th century, captured by a precise brushstroke combining finesse and visual simplicity. This art print of the Portrait of the Farmer Sten Tollefsen of Sandaak faithfully restores these nuances.
