Axel Schovelin, Summer’s Day In Zealand oil painting A fine early 20th-century etching

A fine early 20th-century etching depicting two girls at the piano by Danish artist

Light cascades through a leaded window and a church spire can be seen in the distance

Kirberg has handled the light beautifully as it falls across the cupboard and along the tiled floor

It reminds us of Caspar David Friedrich’s ‘Wanderer Above The Sea Of Fog’

Axel Schovelin, Summer’s Day In Zealand oil painting A fine early 20th-century etchingThis joyous landscape painting by Danish artist Axel Schovelin (1827 1893) depicts a beautiful view in Zealand with undulant scenery and picturesque woodland. On our right, a mother and her two sons are resting by an old track where several sheep graze. Beyond them, a glimpse of distant hills, which are gently painted in lighter values. While in the foreground, a stream runs horizontally by our feet the abundant foliage rendered with precision.
