English: Despite the exceedingly informal style, Louise Breslau’s portrait of Ernst Josephson nevertheless resembles a role portrait. With his hat and carelessly tied cravat and the spirit glass standing in front of him, he appears to epitomise the Paris bohemian. The portrait is dated 1886 and may have been executed during a visit to the Swedish artist colleague Allan Österlind, who also lived in France and was a friend of Louise Breslau. Trots sin informella karaktär kan Louise Breslaus porträtt av Ernst Josephson upplevas som ett rollporträtt. Med hatten, den slarvigt knutna sjalen och spritglaset framför sig framstår han som en sinnebild för Parisbohemen. Porträttet är daterat 1886 och möjligen utfört under ett besök hos konstnärskollegan Allan Österlind som också vistades i Frankrike och umgicks med Louise Breslau.
