Poul Steffensen (Danish 1866-1923), is a very well-listed artist. Steffensen worked primarily with landscapes and animal scenes, however his figurative studies are also quite notable. Steffensen was also an excellent illustrator and did the illustrations for the history novels by the authors Carl Etlars and B.S Ingemann. He participated in the following exhibitions: Charlottenborg: 1892-1922, The artists fall exhibition: 1904, Art union: 1923, Gallery Bergenholz: 1920.

We offer this lovely figurative drawing that skillfully uses light and shade and many meticulous details. The expressions on the two faces; the natural look of his holding her hand, and the details of the chest behind her all add to the appeal. I do not know in which novel this appeared, since his work was in high demand for nearly all subject matters.
