Vente en gros Tableau huile. Sophus Paulsen (1883-1935) : « Huîtres »

ARTIST: SophusPaulsen is a well-listed Danish artist, whose works have been offered atauctions several times, and who has had works exhibited at various places –including Charlottenborg. Paulsen studied at the Royal art academy, where hewas taught by famous Danish artists Frants Henningsen and Viggo Johansen and in1911 he also studied at the Croquis School in Paris. He went on several tripsabroad, f.ex. to Italy, France the Netherlands, Germany and Norway, but it wasin Denmark, that he found most of his scenes. He loved being outdoors and foundmany of his scenes in his own neighboring region and therefore landscapes andanimal portraits are among his favorite scenes. However, he also painted figures,still life and interiors. Today, some of his works can be found in Danish artmuseums.

PAINTING: Oilon canvas. The painting is a colorful and emphatic rendering of a Eurasianoystercatcher. These iconic birds can be found along Danish coasts, but are notuncommon inland either, where they can be found feeding in grassy areas andbreeding on top of flat factory roofs, which probably reminds them of thecliffs, which are the more natural habitat for them. I like the warm colors andcomposition in this painting. I'll date the painting to somewhere between1920-1935. Signed: Monogram “SP” in the lower right corner.
