About the piece
Painted in 1919 by Danish-American artist Emil Carlsen, this still life exemplifies the artist's mastery of tonalism and light. The composition centers on a delicate folding fan and a simple white bowl, rendered with a soft, atmospheric touch that highlights the subtle textures of the objects and the visible weave of the canvas.
