This charming early 20th-century oil painting by Danish artist C Sorensen depicts an interior with an arch, dining nook and window.

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. They had a particular penchant for capturing depth via a view through a window, as we see here. It’s an idyllic vision rendered in a charming fashion.

The arch is handled particularly well with exquisite details.

Signed in the lower right and held within a gilt frame, which is probably original.
