18950036961895. Hardcover. Very Good. Dated 1895 but probably starting then and running another year or two. 8vo. 20.5 by 17 cm. Unpaginated 100 pp. most of which have pencil sketches. The greatest number of pencil sketches are portraits of people done with the developing skill of a child. One can see real progress through the album. While never achieving complete fidelity to a likeness the trend is easily in that direction. There is also an abundance of animal portraits and these predictably come much closer to a realistic representation. Most charming though are an anthropomorphic cartoon of frogs and two opulently decorated interiors which also feature human figures. The young artist was of Norwegian origin and thus the title and there are a few captions rendered in Swedish. Moderate wear. <br/><br/> hardcover books

1898003697Chrisiania Oslo 1898-1900. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo. 20.5 by 17 cm. Unpaginated 100 pp. 36 of which have pencil sketches of human portraits. One sees in this sketchbook considerable progress over an earlier sketchbook by the same hand. Here the young Ms. Andersen is achieving considerable realism and accuracy in her faces with effective shadowing better proportioning and occasionally imparting convincing expression and even movement to the figures. One would not mistake this as the work of an established artist but one can see hints here of real potential. Also of interest is that some of the portraits are of theatrical and operatic characters -- Medea possibly Brunnhilda and probably others. The young artist was of Norwegian origin. Moderate wear. <br/><br/> hardcover books
