More about this artwork

Thorvald Erichsen’s captivating work, “Gudrun and Agnes at the Window,” painted in 1918, provides a poignant glimpse into a serene domestic scene, enriched with expressive color and texture that invites the viewer to peer through the artist’s lens into a private world. The painting depicts two women, presumably Gudrun and Agnes, during a quiet, introspective moment near a window.The composition is divided by the window frame, which serves not only as a structural element but also metaphorically, as a boundary between the interior space and the outside world. On the right, one of the figures is portrayed in profile, sitting thoughtfully with her hands resting on a book, suggesting a moment of reflection or pause. The attention to detail in her posture and the subtle expression captured on her face evoke a sense of calm and contemplation.On the left, the outdoor view presents a contrastingly vibrant but still tranquil landscape. Muted tones of yellow, blue, and purple create a soft, almost dream-like depiction of the buildings and vegetation, suggesting the changing colors of early evening or late afternoon. The presence of nature and architecture through the window complements the indoor stillness, bridging the interior and exterior worlds.Prominently, a vase with vividly painted flowers stands on the window sill, symbolizing perhaps the beauty and transience of nature, bridging the internal environment of the home with the external natural world. The interplay of light and color, alongside the thoughtful arrangement of elements, showcases Erichsen's skill in conveying atmosphere and emotion through his art.

Thorvald Erichsen was a Norwegian Post-Impressionist painter; primarily known for landscapes and still lifes.

Thorvald Erichsen was born in Trondheim, Norway. He was the son of Ernst Erichsen (1820-1869) and Trine Jensine Rian (1829-1884). Erichsen's father was a confectioner and died when Erichsen was very young.

Although at first he wanted to be a pianist, in 1886 he began studying law, then dropped out and attended a painting school run by Knud Bergslien, where he completed a course in arts and crafts. He later moved to Copenhagen, where he became a student of Christian Zahrtmann, who had a greater influence on his artistic development.
