Hans Andreasen Hessellund, Farmhouse Interior Scene With Family

Hans Andreasen Hessellund, Farmhouse Interior Scene With FamilyA fine 19th century interior scene by academy trained Danish artist, Hans Andreasen Hessellund (1851 1907). It depicts a family with the mother standing as she looks across to a gentleman who appears to be holding some kind of object. While a second gentleman, perhaps her husband, is glancing over the top of his spectacles. The attention to detail here is exquisite and we particularly enjoy the young lad on the right eating his lunch. Hans Andreasen
