With her depictions of people from commerce, science and culture, and of activists from the women’s rights movement in Kristiania (Oslo), Asta Nørregaard became the most renowned portrait painter of her day.

The National Museums exhibition devoted to Asta Nørregaard explores the full breadth of the artist’s work. The focus is on portraits, pastels and fashion, but there are also paintings on religious themes, evocative landscapes and detailed interiors.
