Attrib. Peder Mork Monsted
Attrib. Peder Mork Monsted (1859-1941) - Oil, Portrait of a Danish Lady

Unknown

About the Item

An exquisite and remarkable early 20th Century portrait in oil, attributed to the well-known Danish artist Peder Mork Monstead (1859-1941), depicting a Danish or Scandinavian woman in a traditional sitting. The subject wears her hair on the top of her head, in a slightly dishevelled manner. Her rugged blousy shirt suggests the wearer is a working woman. The artist has a marvellous aptitude for depicting the human character, with demonstrable realist effect. With an abundance of light and fleshy tones, the figure looks away from the viewer, with a heavy gaze of life experience. The portrait sits well with other works by Monstead, with a particular similarity in facial features and composition. The fine management of tones result in a perfect relationship between realist and impressionist detail. Handsomely presented in an ornate gilt wood and composition frame, with stylised egg-and-dart mouldings, and plain gilt slip with a plaque inscribed with the name 'P. Monsted'. There is a label to the reverse of the frame from 'A.R. Mowbray & Co. Ltd, Ecclesiastical Art Warehouse, 9 High Street, Oxford', dating to the period 1909-1936. Unsigned. On panel.
