This one stopped me in my tracks the moment I saw it. 🎨
A signed early 20th century oil painting by Danish artist Chr. Rhode (b. Aalborg, 1887) capturing one of the most charming scenes: a plein air painter seated in an open field, easel up, while curious cows wander right into the frame to investigate. It’s witty, warm, and beautifully painted.
Rhode was a largely self-taught artist who exhibited widely in Copenhagen and was praised by critics for his sensitive use of color and his gift for capturing the Danish countryside. His work has that quiet, intimate quality you feel immediately in person.
The reeded gilt frame is stunning and fits the piece perfectly.
