Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1920s.
Nybo favoured the quiet moments of domestic introspection that would otherwise pass us by.
It’s apparent that he painted those close to him as the same people appear in numerous works. For instance, this particular woman is also the subject of a painting from 1927. It’s possibly his wife, the singer Anna (Anita) Maria Christiani.

Poul Friis Nybo was a Danish painter of gentle interior scenes, landscapes and seascapes. His interiors are particularly interesting and capture a snapshot of everyday life. Many of these feature the same woman. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen before attending Kristian Zahrtmann's School and from 1892, he exhibited at the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition.
