Knud Larsen (b. Vinderød 1865, d. Frederiksberg 1922)
A boy paddling in the shallow water. Signed and dated Knud L. 1916. Oil on canvas. 46×65 cm.
“Weilbachs Dansk Kunstnerleksikon”, 1996, vol. 5, p. 30 mentions Knud Larsen's sources of inspiration (in Danish): “In his Jutland landscapes one finds traces of both Hans Smidth's and Vilhelm Kyhn's colour scheme, while in the genre paintings like ”Sommer. Børnene binder Kranse“, he uses lighter colours and an almost impressionistic light that indicates the influence of P. S. Krøyer and Theodor Philipsen”. This is also the case for this painting, where especially the influence of P. S. Krøyer (1851–1909) is obvious.
In need of a light surface cleaning.
