    Signed lower left, 'Clement' for Gad Frederick Clement (Danish, 1867-1933) and painted circa 1920. Titled, verso, on old exhibition label, 'Fra Haven' (From the Garden). Additionally signed, verso, on stretcher bar and titled, 'Vesterby, Skagen' Exhibited: Skagen Museum, circa 1920, from label, verso. 'Helsinki Art Gallery, 1928', from label, verso. 'Danish Art Convention Forum, 1929', from label, verso. Gad Clement created this luminous painting in the garden of the Vesterby beach house where he and his wife, the artist Martha 'Tupsy' Clement, summered from 1908-1920. A substantial and well-exhibited work, it shows Tupsy at her easel beside their daughters, Bitten (b.1912) and Lillemor (b.1909). Fusing the ideal with the intensely personal, the artist has lyrically captured both the bonds of maternity and the dreamland of childhood. Gad Frederick Clement first studied at Copenhagen's Technical School (1883–1885) before attending the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris (1885-1888). Returning to Denmark, he continued his studies under Laurits Tuxen...
