Automatic translation from Danish.

Svend Hammershøi (1873-1948): 'Rosenborg Slot', from the entrance/gate building on the Øster Voldgade side. Probably around 1915-35. Oil on canvas. Signed monogram on frame label, and exhibition label with the artist's own signature. 90 x 57 (108 x 75) cm. Mounted in a contemporary and associated Kleis frame of profiled and gilded wood.
Literature: Tove Jørgensen: 'Svend Hammershøi 1873-1948' ed. 1990, Rosenborg Slot motifs mentioned and described pp. 128-129. The dating of the work is uncertain, as the artist returned to the park around the castle over the course of 40 years, and reproduced the buildings and the area in numerous depictions (both drawings and paintings) in the period 1906-1946.
Provenance: Given as a gift from the artist to the director of A/S Kastrup Glasværk Valdemar Hansen. The brothers Vilhelm and Svend Hammershøi were private friends of the Hansen family and often visited their home at Nybogaard in Kvistgaard. The painting has been in the family's possession ever since. It has not previously been offered for public sale.
