ARTIST: Willer Jørgensen is a rather mysterious Danish artist. Although he is recognized for his skillful paintings and his works have been sold (some at very high prices) at auctions several times, very little is known about him. He was primarily a landscape painter and seems to have been influenced by the famous Danish artist Peder Mønsted.    

PAINTING: Oil on board. The painting is an atmospheric rendering of a horsedrawn sleigh moving through a small, snow-covered village. The mountainous landscape in the background excludes Denmark from being the scene in the painting, and because of similar paintings that I’ve seen from this artist which were from Norway, I assume that this is also the case with this one. The painting is dated to 1935. Signed: “Willer J” in the lower left corner.

SIZE: With frame: 61 cm/24" * 44 cm/17.3". Without frame: 45 cm/17.7" * 28 cm/11".

CONDITION: The painting is in great ready-to-hang condition - no holes, tears or missing paint. The frame has scratches and stains.
