Still Life drawing by Svendsen

With the quiet simplicity and sense of timelessness typical of Danish late 19th-century art, - often associated with Wilhelm Hammershøi- ,  our study of the effects of light and shade on a pitcher dates to 1886 and is typical of the Academic training of the Scandinavian School Of Art.

Such charcoal studies of light effects on everyday objects are mesmerizing to this day and highly sought after.
