Antique 1920s Danish Realist Oil Painting Fish Market Scene Copenhagen Signed ^Sale

This antique oil on canvas from the 1920s, attributed to the Danish artist Søren Christian Bjulf (1890 - 1958), captures a spirited fish market at Gammel Strand, Copenhagen. The scene unfolds at a fish stall where a fisherman and a woman - presumably his wife - sell his freshly caught haul. This plein air study is executed with broad, loose brushstrokes in the Danish realist tradition, employing a muted color palette punctuated by small vibrant accents. The artist demonstrates careful attention to the characters' personalities and surrounding details, the interplay of light and shadow, all work together to create an authentic mood and atmosphere. Like many artists of the era inspired by revolutionary and democratic ideals, Bjulf sought to portray the essential qualities and characteristics of working-class life in its many facets.
