Albertine at the police station

The painting depicts an indoor scene with a diverse group of people, probably in a waiting room or a public institution. In the centre are two ladies in period dress with decorative hats. The man in the background is standing next to a wooden bench and something is written in chalk on a black board. On the left is a woman facing away from the viewer towards a door with an inscription. Overall, the scene looks like a cutout from everyday life.

Christian Krohg (1852-1925) was a Norwegian naturalist, painter, illustrator, writer and journalist. He came from an influential family. His father, Georg Anton Krohg, was a lawyer and his grandfather was a cabinet minister. Following the example of his father, Christian studied law at the University of Oslo and arts at the University in Baden. He found great inspiration in the ideas of the Realists and depicted scenes from everyday life – rather from its dark, socially underrated side. Well-known are the images Survival, Mother with Child, or any work related to his scandalous novel Albertine. Krohg was the founding editor of the journal of the Czech Impressionists and was also a journalist in Oslo. Finally, he became the director and professor at the Norwegian Academy of Arts.
