William Stuhr (b. Aalborg 1882, d. Skagen 1958)

View from Skagen Beach. Signed Will. Stuhr. Oil on cardboard. 14×22.5 cm.

Provenance: King Christian X (1870–1947) and Queen Alexandrine of Denmark (1879–1952), their summer residence “Klitgaarden” near Skagen; their son and daughter-in-law, Hereditary Prince Knud (1900–1976) and Hereditary Princess Caroline-Mathilde of Denmark (1912–1995), their summer residence “Klitgaarden” near Skagen; their daughter, Princess Elisabeth of Denmark (1935–2018). Before her death the painting was given to private Danish ownership, which they have been until today.

King Frederik VIII was married in 1869 to Queen Lovisa, born Princess of Sweden. Queen Lovisa was very interested in etiquette and royal table setting. She also decided to have the royal kitchen renovated in Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg. Therefore she acquired the silver menu card holders in the form of the Danish Royal Crown in Sweden, and could order additional pieces, when necessary.
