Garden Afternoon Tea, 1890, Peder Mønsted — Art Postcard

Painted in 1890, this is an early dated work — a fashionable garden afternoon with an elegant woman in a red dress seated at a small table under summer trees, the kind of bourgeois salon subject the Scandinavian art world favoured in the 1880s and 1890s. The mood is lighter than his later landscape pieces, a touch closer to the Impressionism in the air at the time.

The 10×15 cm card on 350 g/m² stock holds the warm summer palette intact. A natural choice for collectors interested in Mønsted's early period or for a handwritten note that wants a softer, figurative image on the front.
