About this artwork

Vilhelm Hammershøi painted this genre scene in 1904, working in oil on canvas. The title points to its subject: a collector of coins, a figure of quiet, focused attention. Hammershøi is known as a Danish painter of poetic, subdued portraits and interiors, and that restrained sensibility is a helpful way into this work. The painting belongs to the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design. In 1905 Rainer Maria Rilke wrote that Hammershøi's art is wide-ranging and slow, and that it always offers a way to talk about what is essential in art.

On your wall: Its calm, restrained subject suits a study, a reading corner or a quiet bedroom, and sits well in minimalist spaces that value stillness.
