Folmer Bonnén (1885-1963) – Woman in White, Painted on Stone, Denmark 1922

About the Item

This rare and unique artwork by Danish artist Folmer Bonnén is a striking example of his impressionistic yet expressive style. Painted in 1922, it depicts a seated woman in an elegant white dress, her presence both delicate and introspective. The loose, gestural brushwork and earthy tones give the piece a dreamlike quality, while the contrast between the soft fabric and the rough texture of the stone adds a compelling depth. What makes this piece particularly special is the unusual choice of medium—painted directly on stone rather than canvas or paper, making it a rare and experimental work in Bonnén’s oeuvre. The natural texture of the stone interacts beautifully with the painting, adding an organic and almost sculptural element to the composition. Folmer Bonnén was a significant figure in Danish art, known for his contributions to painting, literature, and art theory. Despite the exceptional quality of his work, his legacy has remained somewhat overlooked—making this piece a fascinating addition to any collection of early 20th-century Scandinavian art
