Brave Fine Art has dated this Alfred Broge Oil Painting to the 1920s.
One in which handicrafts were passed through the generations and simple rural lifestyles were cherished. These rose-tinted visions were popular among the Danish bourgeoisie who sought to celebrate the rich rural heritage of their homeland and decorate their walls with appropriate images. And as such, his paintings were often reproduced as postcards and prints to meet this demand.
His popularity and traditional style led to a successful 40-year career, during which he exhibited regularly at Charlottenborg Palace. He was also shown at numerous independent exhibitions across Denmark.
Signed/dated lower left and held within a coved gilt exhibition frame, which is probably original.
