Portrait of Henny Brodersen in profile. Signed and dated A. Ancher 1909. Pencil on paper. Sheet size 25×18 cm. When P. S. Krøyer (1851–1909) was abandoned by Marie Krøyer (1867–1940), Henny Brodersen (1868–1960), who was married to municipal treasurer Hans Brodersen (1858–1943), devotedly cared for both Krøyer and his daughter Vibeke. Henny Brodersen nursed Krøyer until his death in 1909 and was present at his deathbed together with her husband, Krøyer’s daughter Vibeke, and Michael and Anna Ancher. Anna Ancher made the present portrait in the very year of Krøyer’s death.
