Ole Sondergaard, Reading by Candlelight, Early 20th-century Danish Painting

1920 - 1940
Description

A beautiful depiction of a young lady reading by candlelight by Danish artist, Ole Sondergaard (1876-1958).

Here we see her sitting alongside a table as she rests a book on her lap. The glow of a single candle providing enough light to read. Two paintings hang on the wall above her, a landscape and a portrait.

Ole Sondergaard was predominantly a landscape painter and enjoyed capturing scenic views with a broad brush and a simple pared-back style. He also painted portraits of his family and this particular girl seems to feature in other works. Could it be his daughter?

The painting is signed in the lower right.

Medium: Oil on canvas

Overall size: 21” x 25½” / 54cm x 65cm

Year of creation: c. 1930

Provenance: Denmark

Condition: Very good.
