With age-related craquelure and isolated, tiny losses of color over the entire surface. Yellowed varnish. No retouching visible under UV. Good overall. The Danish artist is known for his landscape depictions, which are mainly represented in his oeuvre. Schovelin began studying painting from 1839-46 at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen under Johann Ludvig Gebhard Lund at the age of just 12. For his subjects, he concentrated almost exclusively on his immediate surroundings. Here he devoted himself to the coast of the country in seascapes as well as the interior and depicted idyllic meadow scenes. Stylistically, Schovelin was characterized by an empathetic view of nature, guided by emotional expression, so that his art can be seen as sensitive landscape painting. Oil on canvas. Signed.
