Laurits Tuxen (b. Copenhagen 1853, d. s.p. 1927)

Portrait of a young lady. Signed and dated L. Tuxen 1893. Oil on canvas. 64×60 cm. Gilt Rococo style frame.

Lise Svanholm, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Works of Laurits Tuxen no. 434.

Exhibited: Charlottenborg: “Mindeudstilling over Laurits Tuxen”, 1929 no. 126.

Skagens Museum, “Skagen guld. Værker i privateje”, 2011, no. P 396, reproduced p. 74. Here mistakenly listed as “The artist's wife”. The artist's second wife, Frederikke Treschow, who Tuxen married in 1901, was born in 1856, so she would have been 37 years on this portrait - but it depicts a young woman and she has no immediately resemblance with Frederikke nor with his first wife Ursule.

Provenance: Bank clerk With (1929).

Condition

Minor crackles. A few minimal retouches.
