A framed painting by Marie Kroyer entitled "Self Portrait".

Marie Triepcke Kroyer (11 June 1867 to 25 May 1940) was a Danish painter. She was born in Frederiksberg, Denmark. Maria enjoyed a comfortable, middle-class life growing up in the Triepcke home, along with her two brothers Wilhelm and Valdemar. Shortly after coming to Paris alone in December 1888, a daring adventure for a respectable young woman of those times, Maria ran into Kroyer at a cafe frequented by Nordic artists. Her beauty suddenly overwhelmed Kroyer, even though he had known her for a number of years.
