Still Life With Trollius, Tea Cup & Books

This charming early 20th-century oil painting by Danish artist C Sørensen depicts an arrangement of trollius with a vase, tea cup and books.

Little is known about C Sørensen, which is unusual given their evident skill. They worked predominantly during the 1930s and produced numerous interior scenes and occasional still lifes.

The light here is particularly well observed - note the subtle reflection of a window deftly rendered inside the teacup.

Conservation & History

We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also often restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
