This early 20th-century interior scene by Danish artist Carl Hornung-Jensen (1882-1960) depicts a seated woman amid a plush living room interior.

Under the glow of a single lamp, a lady in black sits at a writing desk - seemingly deep in thought. She looks towards a table with liquor, her green shoe conspicuous and jutting. The nets behind are tied back to reveal a bright moonlit sky - its silvery blue complementing the warm woodwork of cherished furnishings.

Signed/dated and framed.
