Pauline Thomsen (b. Roskilde 1858, d. Ry 1931)

Shadow in a vicarage yard. Signed and dated Pauline Thomsen 1911. Oil on canvas. 69×84 cm.

Pauline Thomsen received her artistic education at Vilhelm Kyhn’s (1819–1903) drawing school for women in the years 1887–1880. Thomsen was influenced by Kyhn’s national, romantic, and idyllic approach to landscape painting, and she specialized as a landscape painter with motifs from Denmark. In her youth, she especially found her motifs in Zealand, but after accompanying Kyhn on summer trips in Jutland she primarily painted the Jutlandic landscape, especially the area near Ry and Himmelbjerget. She made her debut at Charlottenborg’s Spring Exhibition in 1885 and exhibited here for several years, just as she went on to participate in exhibitions in Chicago in 1895, the World's fair in Paris in 1900, and Modern Danish Artists in Brighton in 1912.

Exhibited: Charlottenborg 1912 no. 549.
