Abstract
P.S. Krøyer’s late and most popular paintings have proven very difficult to preserve, and as zinc white
has been known to cause structural problems in paintings, the authors investigate if the damage
seen in the late paintings can be related to the use of this relatively new pigment. Eight paintings
were examined and the results suggest that the shift from using one white pigment to another took
place between 1884 and 1889. After 1889, only zinc white was found in the analyzed paint layers.
However, the results indicate that the recurring damage in Krøyer’s later paintings cannot be
explained by the presence of zinc white alone.
