Portrait of Maufra

Allan Österlind left Stockholm for Paris in 1877 and later stayed in Brittany, notably on the island of Bréhat, where he frequented several artists, including Maxime Maufra. This portrait shows Maufra from behind, painting, turning away from his engraving entitled "The Wave." Recognizable by his glasses and mustache, he appears absorbed in his work, a palette in hand.
