Attr. C A Lorentzen, Portrait Of Barbara Brorson
A fine early 19th-century portrait of Barbara Nicolette Brorson, née Kynde (1755–1807), attributed to important Danish painter, Christian August Lorentzen (1749-1828).
Lorentzen was adept at capturing a subject’s character and his portraits often seem gentler than many of his contemporaries’. He’s recognised as being an influential figure in Danish art and spent the latter part of his career as the Director of the Royal Academy in Copenhagen. Many of his works now hang in Danish museums.
In this charming portrait of Barbara Brorson, her large gentle eyes and subtle smile, seem to communicate her warmth and wit. While her casual outfit, with its open neckline and slightly dishevelled collar, give the impression of a busy woman.
Barbara was born in Holstebro, West Denmark, to Ebbe Clemensen Kynde and Cathrine Margrethe Brorson, and went on to marry her cousin Anders Winding Brorson (1755-1833). Anders was an intelligent and highly regarded schoolmaster who doted on his loving wife.
The portrait is housed within a beautiful 19th-century frame, which bears the subject’s name on its original plaque.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size including frame: 18” x 15½” / 45.5cm x 39.5cm
Year of creation: c. 1800
Provenance: Denmark
Condition: Good. Areas of craquelure but the paint layer is stable under varnish. Canvas relined. Frame with light age-related wear.
Artist’s auction highlight: £42,000 achieved at Sotheby’s, UK, in 2012 for ‘Kristiania, From Ekebergasen’ (72.5cm x 88cm). Brave Fine Art is a boutique art dealership based in the picturesque Malvern Hills, England.

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.
