About the Item
The signature at the bottom right with the date and ink inscriptions on the stretcher lead us to the Norwegian painter Henrik Asor Hansen (1862 - 1929). In the center of the scene is a lady reading, her delicate figure draped in a light yellow dress that exudes a sense of grace and refinement. With her back turned to the viewer, she is engrossed in reading, her posture conveying a subtle tension that hints at the depth of her focus. The play of light and shadow envelops the room in twilight, creating a feeling of depth. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the surrounding elements, particularly the vibrant bouquets of fresh flowers adorning the table. From the intricate petals of chrysanthemums to the bold hues of red tulips, infusing the room with color and fragrance that enhances the overall atmosphere of contemplation. The artist's careful rendering of the scene suggests a desire to preserve the harmony and beauty of the moment, as if fearful of disrupting the delicate balance that exists within the frame. Antique oil painting on canvas, signed, framed.

Hansen, was a painter who painted a number of paintings with motifs from Setesdal. He started an education as a naval officer but broke from this and started at the art academy in Copenhagen. In 1886, he was enrolled as a pupil of the Danish painter Kristian Zahrtmann. Around 1890 the family moved to Norway and settled near Mandal, but in 1898 Asor Hansen moved alone to Bergen to start a winter painting school. From 1900 to 1910, Asor Hansen was a painter in Bergen. During this time, he was chairman of the Bergen Art Association for a period. Hansen died on the journey from Bergen to Setesdal on the boat outside Stord. "Setesdalsmuseet" has a collection of paintings by Asor Hansen. The same has Mandal City Museum and Sørlandet Art Museum. The first painting that Haugesund Art Association bought when the association was founded in 1913, was Asor Hansen's Family Visit in Sætersdalen. Other paintings of him from Setesdal are Elvestryk with mill house, Byklevandet, Stabbur in Setesdal . He painted and took many paintings in Spain, but they are not so well known in Norway.

- Portrait of Old Woman 1893 by Famous Russian Master Oil Painting on Canvas FrameLocated in Stockholm, SEAttributed by Nikolay Alekseyevich Kasatkin (1859 - 1930). In this touching artwork, the artist perfectly conveyed the character of the old woman, who has seen a lot in her life. The hands, tired out and riddled with veins, lie helplessly on the knees. Her slouched body tells us about the load of years lived. The painter skillfully conveys a sense of wisdom, kindness, and humility through her wrinkled face and detached gaze. The painting exudes warmth with a subtle touch of sadness and reflection on a life lived. Thanks to moderately contrasting colors, the portrait comes to life and shows us the depth of the artist's intention. Kasatkin not only continued the traditions of the best masters of portraiture in Russia in the 19th century, but also introduced new principles into it. He sought to display on canvas not only the external features of a person, but also to demonstrate his spiritual world. Antique oil painting on canvas, signed bottom left, framed. Size app.: 68.5 x 52.3 cm (roughly 27 x 20.6 in), frame is 80.5 x 63.5 cm (roughly 31.7 x 25 in). Very good condition, very well preserved recently conserved condition with minimal wear (notice few micro losses here and there). Please study good resolution images for cosmetic condition. In person actual painting may appear darker or brighter than in our pictures, strictly depending on sufficient light in your environment. Weight of app. 5.4 kg is going to measure 8 kg packed for shipment. Nikolay Alekseyevich Kasatkin (1859 - 1930) was a Russian painter, considered to be one of the founders of Social Realism in Russia. From 1873 to 1883 he studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture with Vasily Perov and Illarion Pryanishnikov. Upon graduating, he received a medal for his painting "Beggars at the Church Door". In 1891, he began exhibiting with the Peredvizhniki and, from 1894 to 1917, was a teacher at his alma mater. For thirty years, beginning in 1883, he worked with Ivan Sytin, providing illustrations for his popular almanac/calendars and teaching lithography. He also contributed The Great Reform, an encyclopedia that celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the Emancipation (1861), and a collection called "Russian History in Pictures". In 1903, he became a member of the Imperial Academy of Arts. He participated in the Exposition Universelle (1900), where he won a silver medal, and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (1904), among others. In 1923, following the Civil War, he was named the first "People's Artist of the Republic" and became a member of the AKhRR (Association of Artists). He is considered to be one of the forerunners of Socialist Realism in the arts and was sometimes called the "Gorky of Painters". In 1956, the Soviet Union honored him with a 40 kopeck commemorative postage stamp. In 1971, his painting of a female mine worker...Category
