More about this artwork
Thorvald Erichsen's captivating painting, titled "Interior" (1905), grants viewers a lush glimpse into an intimate domestic space, rendered in bold and expressive strokes that are characteristic of his work. The scene is awash with rich, golden yellows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. On the left, a chair and a plant in a pot sit beside a window, through which light seemingly filters, casting gentle highlights and shadows around the room. To the right, a bed adorned with a pinkish-red blanket is closely flanked by a table holding what appears to be a small bottle and glasses. The painting's fluid, almost abstract treatment of form and color evoke a sense of calm and privacy, typical of early 20th-century interior studies.

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.
