To unge piger i et lysthus 1880s

"To unge piger i et lysthus" by Danish artist Peter Hansen depicts two women seated on a bench in a lush garden setting. The women, obscured by darkness and dappled light, appear lost in their respective activities. This intimate scene, executed in the 1880s, exemplifies Hansen's focus on capturing the quiet moments of everyday life, a characteristic of his early works. The painting's subdued palette and atmospheric quality evoke a sense of tranquility and contemplation, typical of the Danish Golden Age.
