Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1940s.
Here we see a simple table with a fresh loaf of bread along with a bowl perhaps containing soup. It’s a modest meal - accompanied by oil, water and wine. There’s every chance that this is a view into Vedel’s own kitchen and maybe it’s his supper.
Herman Vedel was the leading Danish portraitist of his generation. He trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and many of his works are held in public collections.
The painting is monogrammed in the lower right and housed within a frame that’s probably the original.
