Valdemar Magaard, the Empty Ol’ Mug - Antique Oil Painting

1920 - 1940
Description

A charming early 20th-century interior scene depicting an old gentleman staring woefully into an empty mug. While an older lady, presumably his wife, is holding a bowl of food (perhaps nuts).

Magaard had a skill for capturing figures within interesting interiors. He deftly uses the effects of light to capture the imagination and his works often pose more questions than they answer.

The painting is signed/dated in the lower left and housed within a gilt frame.

Medium: Oil on canvas

Overall size: 25½” x 23” / 65cm x 59cm

Year of creation: c. 1930

Provenance: Denmark

Condition: Minor losses along the periphery. Frame with some light age-related wear.

Artist’s auction highlight: £1,400 achieved for ‘A Mother and Child’ at an auction in 1994.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
