* In the years 1882–85, Christian Krohg acted as mentor to a number of young artists in Christiania, and in this painting a group of them have gathered in Krohg’s studio. Edvard Munch has withdrawn into a corner and is lighting a cigarette, the actress Constance Bruun, in a blue dress and white shawl, sits with her back to us, and Oda Krohg is stretched sensuously out on a chaise longue and giving all her attention to the actor and sculptor Kalle Løchen. Løchen’s slim figure, hands in pockets and a cigarette dangling from his mouth, dominates the scene, and Oda’s fan, painted as flecks of colour, is at the centre of the composition.
