Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann (b. Warsaw 1819, d. Copenhagen 1881)
A fisherman courting a young woman on the beach. Signed and dated Elisabeth Baumann Jerichau 18[??]. Oil on canvas. 69×55 cm.
Remains of an exhibition label on the frame.
Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann has dealt with the motif several times. In 1863 she exhibited the painting “The Danish fisherman's courtship” at the Royal Academy in London. In this, a fisherman, hanging over a window sill, is seen courting a young woman who is sitting inside repairing a fishing net. The figures are very similar to those in the present painting, while the scene/setting is different. A version of the aforementioned from 1873 is also known.
