Marie Krøyer (b. Frederiksberg 1867, d. Oslo 1940)
Portrait of Mutti Knudsen. Unsigned. Inscribed Mutti Knudsen, and dated October 84. Oil on canvas. 50×39 cm.
Literature: Tonni Arnold, “Kunsten i Marie Krøyers liv”, 2002, reproduced p. 25 and mentioned p. 24–26 as follows (in Danish): “Marie has let all the light in the picture radiate from the old woman's face, as a counterweight to the mournful look in her eyes. It is thought-provoking that Marie with very little schooling at the age of just 17, is capable of mastering the artistic effects of the portrait painting, to the extent that she can paint the soulful and mournful eyes of this woman.”
