The Danish auction houses won’t see |
|
Alfred Larsen (1886-?) certainly painted
the landscape shown above in the midst twenties century, but we can
guarantee that the world-famed artist his namesake the
Alfred Larsen (1860-1946) has nothing to do with it. His
paintings are worth a lot more. The painting shown here and put
forward for sale is worth at most 200 dollars. The seller estimates the
painting himself at 1.800 – 2.000 dollars. He probably doesn’t know
about that but any auction house ought to!! These kinds of
misunderstandings among bidders do often happen so be wary of what you
bid for! Below you can read a mixed-up
description, a no end of a row of time and figures, and we believe that
the auction house is, in full, taking advantage from these facts hoping to
gain a lager profit – this is today’s moral as we have witnessed it
during the past 6 months. |
| The seller, scandinavian-porcelain,
Copenhagen, Denmark: Here you are offered an adorable landscape oil by the listed Danish artist Alfred Larsen featuring lush green fields with beautiful cattle grazing or laying in the sun. There are lovely green trees beyond, and above is a wonderful bright blue sky accentuating this lovely day in the country side with an air of peace and quite. This fabulous painting from the early 20th century is held in predominately green, white, brownish and light blue colors making a wonderful color scheme with a beautiful light coming from above. Signed "Alfred Larsen" (1860-1946), a well-listed Danish artist. He was trained as a carver and from 1878-1884 he attended the Royal Danish academy of Art. He also studied with P.S.
