Maleren Tom Petersen, siddende i en veranda 1919

"Maleren Tom Petersen, siddende i en veranda" (The Painter Tom Petersen Sitting on a Porch), a watercolor painting by Marie Henriques, captures a moment of quiet contemplation. The painting depicts the artist's friend, Tom Petersen, seated in a room with a view of a porch and garden through an open doorway. Henriques's soft, delicate brushstrokes create a sense of calm and tranquility, emphasizing the subtle play of light and shadow on the sitter and the interior space. The artwork, now held by the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, is a testament to Henriques's skill in portraying the beauty of everyday life and the introspective nature of her subject.
