Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1920s.
Amid the solitude of a hushed environment, she rests in contemplation.
It’s innocuous but somehow poignant. Broge was a master of such scenes, capturing passing moments with dextrous handling. Note the dabs of light on the pointed shoe and the skilful rendering of the loose brown dress.
Born in Copenhagen, Broge trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Rudolph Bissen (1846-1911) before exhibiting widely, including at the prestigious Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition.
Signed in the lower left and held in a later gilt frame.
