Peter Ilsted - Interior with Two Girls [1904]


Peter Ilsted (1861 - 1933) was a leading Danish artist and printmaker. Ilsted was a great success in his lifetime and won many awards and accolades for his work. His achievements in mezzotints were revolutionary. Some of his mezzotints, most of which were created in black as well as colour editions, are considered among the greatest ever made.
