About this work

Overview

Forår. Ung pige med en barnevogn, painted in 1910 by the artist known as 188_person, is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. The canvas captures a winter‑time scene in a public park, where a young woman in a dark coat and light scarf holds the handle of a stroller while children play nearby.

Subject & Meaning

The central figure is a young woman, possibly a mother, poised against a backdrop of leafless trees and a winding path. Her direct gaze and the attentive grip on the stroller suggest a moment of vigilance amid the bustling activity of children, hinting at themes of care, urban life, and the seasonal transition of spring.

Technique & Style

The artist employs a pronounced impasto technique, building up thick layers of paint especially on the woman's coat and the stroller’s metal frame. This tactile surface catches light, emphasizing the folds of fabric and the solidity of the stroller, while softer brushwork renders the surrounding park in muted browns, blues, and occasional reds.

History & Provenance

Created in 1910, the work entered the Museum of Ethnography’s holdings at an unspecified date, where it has been displayed as part of the institution’s broader focus on cultural and social scenes. The painting’s provenance remains limited to its original attribution to 188_person and its current museum placement.

Context

The early twentieth century saw a growing interest in everyday urban moments, and this piece reflects that trend by depicting ordinary leisure in a public space. The composition aligns with contemporary Scandinavian tendencies toward naturalistic color palettes and a focus on the interplay of light and shadow in outdoor settings.
