PEDER M. MONSTED (Danish 1859-1941)
A SUMMER DAY, 1902
oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left "P. Monsted 1902"
 
This a very peaceful painting, superbly painted with all of the finest
elements from Monsted and dated 1902 which was his best period.
It is a key picture from when Denmark was in a very peaceful time.
The subject depicts a young girl with cows, painted with fine detail,
with wonderful water and reflections as well as the unique light of
which Monsted is a master. The atmosphere is amazingly tranquil.
The painting is complete with a very nice original gilded frame richly
carved with oak leaves and acorns.
