Unidentified Danish Family (Denmark, 1830s)
Figure 1.--We have found one unidentified family portarit from what we believe to be the 1830s. The dealers suggests the 1820s or 30s. It is a naive oil portrait with wonderful detail and great period subject manner. It shold be noted that in Europe there were more trained artists than in America. The unknown artist shows the family with rosy cheeks and bright eyes in an interior setting, posing on and around mahogany colored furniture against dark green walls, exhibiting an air of health and affluence, although a naive portait suggests the family is not wealthy. There is even a brown dog sitting at his master's feet. Thev father wears a dark suit with a stock. The mother wears a dark dress with a colored scarfe and what looks like a lind of hair net. There are two boys who may bwe about 5-10 years of age. The boys have longish hair, especially the younger boy. both boys wear short tunics, the younger boy with what looks like a small ruffled collar. The older boy has a more mature pointed collar. Neither has neckwear. The younger boy has shortened-length pants sworn with white long stockings. The older boy had long pants with his tunic. The younger bot has twon tone shies, simething we have not noticed before. The older boy has low cut shioes, pevalent in the first haklfg og=f the 19tth century. .
