Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1930s.
She’s wearing a large throw and fur hat, undoubtedly cosy. Asberg produced a rich oeuvre of work that often balanced fantasy and sobriety in equal measure.
Here, in this rare portrait, we see the two sides of his character colliding once again. She’s in repose, warm, at rest. Yet there’s another quality, something rippling under the surface that’s less tangible.
