Solskin på en dør 1910

"Solskin på en dør" (Sunshine on a Door) is a 1910 lithograph by Danish artist Peter Ilsted, known for his depiction of everyday life. The artwork portrays a woman seated at a table in an interior setting, with a strong beam of sunlight streaming through a doorway and onto the wooden floor. The subdued tones and quiet stillness of the scene evoke a sense of tranquility and domesticity, typical of Ilsted's style. This piece, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Ilsted's mastery of light and shadow, creating a captivating play of contrasts within a simple domestic scene.
