Laurits Tuxen (b. Copenhagen 1853, d. s.p. 1927)
“Under Rosentræet”. Under the rose tree. The painter's daughter Nina with her girls Rikke and Elsa in the garden at Dagminne in Skagen. C. 1924–1925. Signed L.T. Oil on canvas. 52×62 cm.
The first thing that catches the eye in this atmospheric painting from Tuxen's garden at Dagminne, Skagen, is the impressive rosebush in full bloom. The rosebush takes up most of the painting and casts a shadow on Nina and the girls. The painting emanates sun and summer, and one can almost smell the roses. In 1893, Krøyer painted a similar subject in his garden in Skagen, “Roses”, with his wife Marie reading in the shadow in the background. Again, focus is on an impressive rosebush in the centre of the painting. Krøyer's painting is today owned by Skagen Museum. Reproduced on the previous page.
Provenance: Descendants of the painter till today.
