Interior from kristian zahrtmann's lodgings in casa cerroni in civita d'antino with the artist's wife marie elisabeth tom-petersen talking to an italian woman. This painting is a bit tricky, as it appears the artist made two almost identical versions (including size) in 1892. The art blogger preben juul madsen (see references) commented on this in connection with the 2008 auction of this second version. The auction houses involved in the sales (bruun rasmussen and lauritz. Com) never suggested that there were two versions, but juul madsen pointed out that the alignment of the window and the furniture to the left was higher in the present version than on the one from the 2005/2007 auctions. Bruun rasmussen claimed for both paintings to have been present at charlottenborg in 1893, while lauritz. Com did not claim that "their" version was there. Lauritz. Com showed a very crude photo of the verso with no signs of a charlottenborg stamp. Only one of them could have been present, so that is still up for discussion. Object Type: painting. Date: 1892. Dimensions: height: 66 cm (25.9 in); width: 79 cm (31.1 in). Medium: oil on canvas. Collection: Unknown. Peter Tom-Petersen - Efter Frokosten - 1892
