About the Item
Signed lower left, 'Hugo V.P.' for Hugo Vilfred Pedersen (Danish, 1870-1959) and painted circa 1900.
An antique oil painting of an Indian gentleman wearing a saffron and coral turban and gold earring, shown gazing towards the viewer with quiet and unassuming authority; an exceptionally atmospheric and psychologically penetrating portrait by this notable Danish Orientalist.
Hugo Pedersen first studied under Frantz Peter Henningsen at Copenhagen's Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In 1895, he traveled to Sumatra, Java, Malaysia and Singapore, where he made numerous portrait sketches later published in, 'Through the East-Indian Archipelago'. Pedersen lived for some time in the Dutch East Indies and, later, in British India where he continued to develop his skills as a portraitist and figural painter. Pedersen became a much-favored portraitist of both Indian and European rulers, which earned him the nickname "The Rajah painter". His figural works were executed in a sweeping style with a sense of both the narrative and the dramatic. Pedersen favored a bold, modernist palette and he combined bravura brushwork with meticulous attention to detail. He was successful in his own lifetime, receiving international recognition for his work which was widely circulated through reproductions. Hugo Pedersen was the recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards and is listed in all major reference works including both Thieme-Becker and Benezit's definitive Dictionary of Artists. We are pleased to offer this small masterpiece, painted when Pedersen was about thirty years old.

Henrik Schouboe first studied at the Copenhagen's Royal Academy of Fine Arts from 1894-1901 and, from 1903-1910, in Italy and Paris.

Schouboe continued to exhibit both domestically and internationally for over thirty years and was the recipient of a variety of prizes, medals and juried awards including the purchase of his 1908 Charlottenborg entry, 'Young Couple in a Landscape', by the State Museum of Art for inclusion in the Danish national collection.
