Christian Mourier-Petersen

Christian Mourier-Petersen painted quiet, realistic portraits and landscapes in late-19th-century Denmark. Try his *Frederikke von Scholten, née Arendrup, the Artist's Mother-in-Law* (1900–01) for a crisp, close-up face in muted tones, or step outside with *Jysk landskab. Klar dag i maj* (1892) to see sunlit fields and distant copses on a bright May morning. Tap *Hedelandskab. Efterår* (1902) next to follow the season’s change across a gently rolling countryside.
