Gustava Emilie Grüner (b. Copenhagen 1870, d. Elsinore 1929)

Portrait of a girl standing with a bouquet of pink flowers in her hand. Unsigned. Oil on canvas. 84×58 cm.

On the back of the stretcher an exhibition label from Charlottenborg.

Gustava Emilie Grüner was a student of Malthe Engelsted from 1894. Subsequently she studied at the Académie Colarossi in Paris, where she was taught by Gérardot, G.E.C. Courtois and Lucien Simon. She undertook several study tours to Italy and France and repeatedly stayed in Norway, Sweden and Germany.

Grüner exhibited industriously throughout her life, and her production includes numerous landscapes as well as interiors and floral paintings. It is, however, in painting portaits she truly excels - and seeing the present portrait of a little girl with a bouquet of flowers, we understand why her childrens portraits have been characterized as having an almost classical bearing.

Condition
