可能是由于画家生活无忧，因此他很少为钱创作。他只为艺术家、朋友和家人创作。他曾经如此评说，“我恨为陌生的人画肖像，特别是拿着钱来交换的人。我不在乎钱。(I would hate to paint portraits, in the sense of painting strange people who come and commission their portrait. I don’t care for that.)”

在早期，Vihelm让他的妹妹Anna和母亲Frederikke担任模特。但在1890年左右，他的注意力转向自己的未婚妻Ida。在画家的生涯中，Ida不仅有多幅肖像，而且画家雇佣Ida作为他的领衔模特。Vihelm的最成功作品就是一个只看到背影的女人，画家从来没有让人知道她是谁。Ida担任画家的模特70多次，或站，或坐，在他们居室的一个房间。画家的住房是一栋建于17世纪，位于哥本哈根港口的老房子。当然，后人的疑问很多，Ida是被劳役、拘役，还是夫妻情深，估计没有人能够解答这个问题。

尽管Vihelm终生生活在哥本哈根，但是经常到海外旅游，特别是英国伦敦。画家非常喜欢选择一个阴天，在漂亮的宫殿和教堂中作画。这些大作中，大多以都市景观为主，很少有人物出现，人们称之为“安静的城市(The Silent City)”。

在艺术生涯，Vihelm当然是成功的，尽管他在1916年就早逝。艺术家Sophus Claussen在1916特作诗来纪念Vihelm。诗作内容如下：
Vihelm Hammershoi
Grey and grim sits Time with knowledge bitter
The air – now frayed and dim – betimes did glitter
Yet O! How sweet to know the blacks and greys
give shelter to the Light and let it say
That all the folds of dark, the gentle whites
are dewed by dreams from Nature’s dawning light
Ida Hammershoi with a teacup, 1907
Self-portrait, the cottage Spurveskjul of Sorgenfri, 1911
Interior, Artificial Light 1909
Sun there is in Nile-mud, Sun in ancient bog
A wondrous force that shuns all garish garb
Sprung from purest well, a patient glow
that lingers through the Night, deals Death a blow
Grey is not grey, nor is black ever black
Life’s many-coloured splendour brings the meekest back
Yea, when these Easter-flowers do unfurl
We feel a gust, a breath from Earth’s great curl
a sigh of sweet, cold-shuttered, sad-eyed Spring
that suffered for us, died, yet still doth sing.
