Poul Rønne, The Yellow Room

Poul Rønne, The Yellow Room

A beautiful depiction of a sunlit interior by prolific Danish artist, Poul Rønne aka Kai Jeppe Drews (1884-1964).

Drews was predominantly a landscape painter but also had a fascination for capturing the effects of light within a room. He seemed particularly drawn towards peaceful corners whereby light would cascade down a wall or across an item of furniture.

His interior scenes are quiet, subtle and devoid of people and I do wonder whether he was continually painting his own home. His landscapes are also modest and tend to include animals rather than figures.

Perhaps his choice of subject suggests a reclusive character often lost within his own imagination. The Danes have a strong reputation for gentle interior scenes and he’s certainly from very good stock indeed.

The painting is housed within what appears to be its original frame.
