Poul Steffensen (Danish 1866-1923) – Original Watercolor and Pen and Ink Drawing on Paper.

This drawing came from a private collection of illustrations for books and magazines by the noted and well-listed Danish artist Poul Steffensen that I purchased many years ago. His style was highly detailed, with a romantic effect at times. This one is such a happy rendition. Bright colors and correctly named “Winter Fun!” has children sledding down a hill. Steffensen’s meticulous details are wonderful. More about Poul Steffensen at the end of the listing.
