About the Item

Bertha Olga Vilhelmine Herlich Dorph, 1875-1960. Was a Danish painter who exhibited a number of pictures of children and family, in her later career she painted landscapes and still life subjects with portraits especially of children. She was a designer of furniture and silverware, ran an art school and was a co-founder of the Female Artists Society. Clearly an accomplished artist who displays a sensitivity of touch with this portrait of a young girl. This is a large picture in a very good quality heavy frame and was certainly painted for a wealthy client, the sitter is unknown at this stage but research may provide us with a name. This painting is signed. This picture will be transported in a wooden crate. I have included another biography of the artist. Bertha Dorph (1875–1960) was a prominent Danish painter and designer, widely celebrated for her intimate portrayals of family life, children, and landscapes. Born Bertha Olga Vilhelmine Herlich Green in Copenhagen, she emerged as a significant figure in the Danish art scene during the early 20th century. Between 1893 and 1897, she received private education in Copenhagen under well-known artists Harald Slott-Møller and Peter Ilsted. She furthered her training with a year in Berlin (1897–1898), where she studied etching at the Schinkel-Akademie. She made her professional debut at Den Frie Udstilling (The Free Exhibition) in 1899 under her maiden name, Green. Dorph's early work was influenced by Symbolism and the Italian 15th-century painters, often characterised by a fine psychological sense. Her painting of a young woman awaiting childbirth, Et besøg hos den unge barselskone (A Visit to the Young Maternity Patient), is considered a masterpiece and won the Thorvaldsen Medal in 1907. In 1925, she created the major work Julenat (Christmas Night), which is currently housed in Ollerup Church near Svendborg. Her portfolio evolved to include detailed studies of flowers, serene landscapes, and numerous portraits, with a particular focus on capturing the expressions of children. Dorph was also a versatile craftswoman and a fierce advocate for women in the arts. She designed silverware—notably the 1922 Christmas Spoon for Anton Michelsen—and furniture. In 1916, she co-founded the Female Artists Society (Kvindelige Kunstneres Samfund) to support women in a male-dominated industry. From 1902 to 1915, she and her husband, fellow painter Niels Vinding Dorph, ran a successful art school. She later served as chairman of the Drawing and Art Industry School for Women starting in 1928. Bertha Dorph died in Hillerød on 25 February 1960 and is buried in Søllerød Cemetery.
