Together with his friend, Carl Holsøe and his brother-in-law, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Ilsted founded the progressive art society ‘The Free Exhibition’ in 1890. Their art focused mainly on tranquil and sparse interiors, and would be later known as the ‘Copehagen Interior School.’ The present work depicts a window of the old manor house at Liselund, near Møns Klint, which Ilsted used to rent every summer. The 18th century rooms often appear in Ilsted’s paintings and prints.
