Summer Day in Jyllinge. Lilacs in Bloom and Little Girls in the Village Street 1922

Hans Andersen Brendekilde's 1922 painting "Summer Day in Jyllinge. Lilacs in Bloom and Little Girls in the Village Street" depicts a warm summer scene in the Danish countryside. A young girl in a brown dress stands barefoot in a cobblestone street, while another woman in a blue dress with a basket walks towards her. The village houses are in the background, with a lilac bush in the foreground framing the scene. Brendekilde's work often features idyllic depictions of rural life and the natural world, reflecting the popular genre of Danish Golden Age painting. The work showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail and use of light and shadow to create a sense of realism and warmth.
