    Helge Helme

    Royal Danish Academy Of Fine Arts, Interior

    A fascinating early 20th-century oil painting by Danish artist Helge Helme (1894-1987) depicting a session at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. 

    Towards the middle of the scene, a life model poses with a stick in her left hand - several artists are studying her intently. We particularly love the attention to detail here with one of the artists rocking forward on his stool.

    The painting is inscribed on the reverse and housed within a period frame. It was completed in 1920 when Helme was in his final year.
