About the Item

Scandinavian School, early twentieth century. Inscribed, verso, on stretcher bar, 'Anna Ancher' with indistinct inscription and painted circa 1910. A psychologically-penetrating portrait of a young woman shown in profile, wearing a gold earring and a polychrome silk headscarf, and contrasted against a variegated jade background; an exceptionally lovely figural study filled with character and humor and painted by trained and skilled hand.

SELF PORTRAIT WITH SCARF - Female Portrait with Muted Colors and Gold Earrings
By Olga Antonova
Located in New York, NY
Perhaps it is her skill in portraiture which renders such strength to Olga Antonova’s still life paintings. Beneath her brush, technically “inanimate” objects come alive with a vibrancy and depth of character that make a viewer want to know their history. Each curve of kettle or teacup rounds the bend, just out of sight, beckoning us nearer. Russian-born Painter Olga Antonova trained at the Repin Institute in Saint Petersburg and specializes in still life paintings of shiny kettles and porcelain china...
