Niels Frederik Schiøttz-Jensen, Barber’s Shop oil painting  landscape danish %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
A fine 19th-century Danish oil on wood depicting a scene from a barber’s shop. The artist, Niels Frederik Schiøttz-Jensen (1855-1941) has exquisitely captured every detail.

Note how the light falls across the three figures to create a diagonal through the composition. The barber, young man and girl are lit with strong contrast akin to chiaroscuro as the boy turns to talk with his sibling.

Behind the figures, the room is rustic with the walls barely painted a light shade of blue. A birdcage is partially covered with a calendar hanging below it.

This majestic interior scene was created by Danish Golden Age painter, Niels Frederik Schiøttz-Jensen (1855-1941). He had a skill for romanticising everyday fleeting moments that would otherwise pass us by.

Schiøttz-Jensen studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen and later in Paris at the Académie Colarossi. His work was widely exhibited during his lifetime and he was awarded the Academy Art Prize twice along with the first-class annual medal in 1895.

The painting is signed/dated in the lower left and housed within a handsome gilded frame with decorative borders.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.

Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.

Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.

If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
