Laurits Tuxen (b. Copenhagen 1853, d. s.p. 1927)
A young woman sunbathing. Signed and dated L.T. 10–8-10. Oil on canvas. 46×65 cm.
On the back an exhibition label from Galleria Schopinich in Milan and no. 8, and inscribed with a French title: Une femme chouchée dans la bruyère (A woman lying in the heather).
In 1901, Tuxen together with his wife, Frederikke (1856–1946), acquired a house in Skagen to be able to live there in the summer. They named it Villa Dagminne. In the following years, Tuxen painted a number of vitalistic works from the beaches around Skagen with a focus on the naked female body. These works are a tribute to the healthy naked body that enjoys the sun, the air, the sea and the beach without any shame. Here, a young woman sunbathes in the heather near the sea.
