Peder Mork Monsted was born in the eastern part of Denmark on the Jutland Peninsula, the son of a wealthy shipbuilder. As a child, he attended drawing lessons at the Art School in Aarhus, and later moved to Copenhagen. In 1875-1879 he studied at the Danish Royal Academy of Fine Arts under the guidance of landscape and portrait painter Andries Fritz and master of genre painting Julius Exner.

Lovely! Thanks, Wolfhammer. I studied art history at two universities and never once heard of Edelfelt. Tsk! tsk!
It would be nice to know what he titled these works. What is the girl looking at off in the distance? One can almost feel her tense emotion, hiding from it.
Your signature file says it all. Whites like beauty, thus ihe appeal of representational art from the realism movement as opposed to later, Judaized degerate "modern" art. See: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4966&p=20237&hilit ... ord#p20237
