C Sørensen, Still Life With Trollius, Tea Cup & BooksThis charming early 20th century oil painting by Danish artist C Srensen depicts an arrangement of trollius with a vase, tea cup and books.

The light here is particularly well observed note the subtle reflection of a window deftly rendered inside the teacup. Signed in
