Herman Jensen
Herman Jensen, A Musician, Oil Painting

c. 1920

About the Item

This enchanting early 20th-century oil painting by Danish artist Herman Jensen (1893-1941) depicts a seated woman playing the banjo before a window. Scenes with musicians are most fascinating as they conjure up inaudible sounds. Can you imagine the lively vibrations of song echoing around this quaint interior? It’s a gentle and sensitive piece - with the figure almost silhouetted against the brightness of the view beyond. Perhaps it’s the artist’s own home. In 1914 Jensen married Olga Helene Andersson and she would’ve been around 26 when he produced this. Signed and framed.
