About the Item
Helge Helme — A Young Girl Smoking a Cigarette, oil on canvas, Denmark, mid-20th century.
An intimate portrait of a young woman captured in a quiet, reflective moment, rendered with Helme’s characteristic sensitivity to light and expression. The subdued palette and gentle brushwork emphasize the contemplative atmosphere of the scene. A finely observed work that reflects the artist’s subtle realism and nuanced approach to everyday subjects.
Dimensions: 17.5 × 24 cm.
This recipient of the Ronge scholarship studied at the Danish Royal Academy of Art of Fine Arts under Viggo Brandt (1918-1920). Helge Helme was a great admirer of feminine beauty and he devoted himself almost entirely to painting the female form. Helme’s skill in capturing female beauty was widely recognised, as was his delicate approach to his art. He was not in the habit of making quick sketches of his models but was dedicated to the meticulous composition and completion of his works.
In the 1920s and '30s, Helme travelled and painted in Britain, France, the Netherlands and Germany, developing his artistic skills during his travels. After returning to Denmark he set up his own painting school and devoted considerable time to education. Over the course of a long career, Helme was the recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards. His work is held in private and public collections including in the permanent collection of the Copenhagen City Museum

Portrait of a Young Girl by Alexei Harlamoff
Located in Vancouver, British Columbia
Portrait of a young Russian or French girl executed in charcoal and gouache on paper. Harlamoff was most renowned for his masterful portraits of young girls of which this is a fine example, chosen for their charming and innocent beauty.

Alexei Harlamoff was born in the village of Dyachevka near Saratov on the Volga. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, and he won both a Gold Medal and a scholarship in 1868. The scholarship enabled him to travel to Paris, where he studied under portrait painter Léon Bonnat, and by 1874 he was visited by Russian marine painter Alexei Bogoliubov, who reported back to Russia on the young artist’s visible success.
In 1875, Harlamoff exhibited his portraits of Louis and Pauline Viardot to great acclaim, marking a turning point in his career. French writer Emile Zola...
