Peter Ilsted
Little Girl With Flat Cap

1906

About the Item

Color mezzotint on fibrous, buff wove paper, 19 x19 inches (482 x 484 mm), full margins. Titled in pencil, lower left, and with the artist's stamp in black ink in the lower right margin. Some minor toning throughout, minor mat tone, and some attenuation of the artist's stamp. There are also a few spots of light brown foxing on the verso. An extremely nice impression with good coloring. [Olufsen/Svensson 45]. Peter Ilsted and Vilhelm Hammershøi, together with Carl Holsøe (1863–1935), were leading artists in early 20th-century Denmark. All three artists were members of the Free Exhibitions (Den Frie Udstilling), a progressive artists association founded in 1891. They are famous for painting images of "Sunshine and Silent Rooms," all in subtle colors. Their works reflect the orderliness of a tranquil life — similar to the earlier works of Vermeer. Their art was later referred to as the "Copenhagen Interior School." These interiors evoke at once a sense of calm and mystery. The orderly rooms are often viewed from behind, causing one to wonder whether the scenes are really tranquil. James McNeill Whistler, Duret, and important art critics were early admirers and collectors of Ilsted's works.
