An exceptionally fine, psychologically penetrating figural study by this early Danish Post-Impressionist.
Agnes Jensen first studied with Emilie Mundt and Marie Tegnesk and, from 1896-1905, attended the Academy of Arts in Copenhagen. Jensen was the recipient of numerous Danish Royal Academy scholarships (Akademy 1910, 1912, 1916, 1918). In 1911, the probable year of this painting, she traveled to France and painted in Brittany. During the first two decades of the twentieth including, she exhibited widely and with success including at the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition (1908, 1910, 1912, 1915, 1919), the Danish Artists' Autumn Exhibition (1907, 1908, 1910, 1912, 1913, 1915) and at the National Exhibition, Aarhus (1909). She also exhibited in Sweden at the Baltic Exhibition in Malmö (1914) and at the Female Artists' Retrospective Exhibition, Copenhagen (1920).
