  3. This is a lovely piece. I hope she's reading something good while she has her coffee. Perhaps its about art as she has so much of it on the wall. Happy T day Nita.

  4. Thank you for introducing me to Carl Vilhelm Holsoe, an artist I was unfamiliar with. Lovely tea cups and functional tea pot. I love the paintings on the wall, too. Thanks for sharing this wonderful painting with us for T this Tuesday, dear friend.

  5. What a vast and intriguing house that woman lives in! Today’s rich people have different objects though they still exaggerate some.

  6. Very moody painting. The lamp seems to be the focus and not the lady reading--lol! Very calming painting, though. :)

  8. I like the painting, looks a lot like my house haha, well the reading by the big lamp bit at least. I wonder who else was there as it looks like someone just got up from that other chair and there is a second cup. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx

  11. I am loving this painting! The light cast a glow which really draws your attention to the lady in the chair.

  12. She looks like she's in the library of The Breakers. The Summer "cottage" of the Vanderbilts. Happy T Day

  13. What a lovely painting, It looks very cozy and it seems there is a second cup on the table, so she is either expecting company or s/he has already left.

  14. What a beautiful painting. I had never heard of that artist. But he can certainly 'play' with light. Very accomplished.
    Happy T-Day,.
