Robert Panitzsch, Sunlit Interior with Lady Reading - Oil Painting

1900 - 1920

Sold by Brave Fine Art

Description

This early 20th-century oil painting by Danish artist Robert Panitzsch (1879-1949) depicts a lady reading in a sunlit interior.

Panitzsch has become widely admired for his beautiful interior scenes, often depicting women either reading or undertaking handicrafts. He was particularly skilled at capturing light effects within plush interiors adorned with decorative ornaments.

This piece from the 1920s is a fine example of his talent. The open door creates additional depth as if we could step through the painting itself. A similar work sold at Sotheby's in 1997.

Note the clever reflection in the glazed portrait on the left.

Signed in the lower right and held within a gilt frame.
