A quiet 20th-century interior scene by Danish artist, Søren Christian Bjulf (1890-1958). Here, we see a seated woman in a green dress reading by lamplight. Three fine paintings hang above her including a large portrait of a gentleman.

Bjulf was an interesting artist that trained in Dusseldorf and Paris. His work covered an array of subjects including landscapes, interiors and portraits.

The painting is signed in the lower right and housed within a period frame.
