Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1930s.
The quiet lull of a sunlit room lifted gently by the rise and fall of classical music. Playing from memory, she’s well-versed. The piano is adorned with elegant blue and white ceramics. Four small oils hang neatly on the wall. A mirror, perhaps in the Deco style, reflects a slim vase. It’s a celebration of quiet family life and she’s in her element.
Asmussen spent the early part of his career decorating the finest theatres in Europe. He has a keen eye for design and clearly appreciated the decor on display here. Note the careful brushwork to capture the various ornaments.
Given the consistent nature of the artwork, perhaps it’s his own home.
