About the Item

Danish oil painting of the Madonna and Child by Sophie Klapper Danish, early 20th Century Frame: Height 93cm, width 137cm, depth 8cm Canvas: Height 72cm, width 116cm, depth 2cm This impressive painting is by the Danish artist Sophie Klapper. The work depicts the Madonna and Child attended by a woman and children. Christ lies nestled in a soft blanket, while his mother gazes at him and the attending children and woman look upon the mother and child pair. The setting is rural: a green meadow extends to the distant horizon, while trees fill the middle ground. The execution is fine, with precise brushstrokes and a vibrant colour palette employed to render the scene. A label on reverse in German reads 'Eigentum der Jesuiten Niederlassung, Breslau, Jabitzstr. 16.' translating as 'Property of the Jesuit establishment of Breslau (previously part of Germany, now Wroclaw, Poland), 16 Jabitz Street'. The painting is contained within a dark carved wood tabernacle shaped frame and the work is signed ‘S. KLAPPER’ to the lower left corner.

19th Century Dutch Oil Painting of a Musical Scene
Located in London, GB
19th century Dutch oil painting of a musical scene Dutch, Late 19th Century Board: Height 28.5cm, width 24cm Frame: Height 46.5cm, width 42cm, depth 7cm This beautifully composed 19th-century oil painting offers an evocative glimpse into everyday domestic life, centring on a tender moment between a mother and her child. Set at the open window of a period townhouse, the woman gently cradles her toddler, who wears a traditional white cap and a 19th century toddler gown, clutching a small metal rattle. Dressed in refined mid-19th century fashion, the mother wears a vivid orange dress beneath a vibrant pelerine and a pink-ribboned lace cap—indicating her middle-class status and contemporary taste. Adding a charming narrative layer, she reaches down to touch the cap of a young street musician...
