Conrad Stonor Werner graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Art in 1918 and spent the years 1919-1923 in Italy and Paris where he was influenced by Futurism and the Post-Impressionists. From 1921-1923, he exhibited at the Salon in Paris and he also became a regular exhibitor at the Charlottenborg Academy in Copenhagen. An outstanding colorist, his subjects include landscapes, still-lives and portraits, all with expressive brushwork and an emphasis on texture. In an extraordinary work from his mature period, Werner imbues this everyday scene with a spiritual and lyrical intensity.
