OriginalInterior with Young Woman Seen from the Back (1903-4) I think I shall need to get the black out for her dress. Yes. Black. Black. Black! Like the clouds of death that follow me into the Forest of Doom! And hide in the wardrobe of darkness! Black!
Reason
Shows the Danes' hatred of bright colours, the outdoors and faces. Actually this is classic Hammershøi and although the colours are muted and the setting stark it is still light and airy; I like it (which is reason enough for you to support it).
Articles in which this image appears
Just Vilhelm Hammershøi at the mo, but I shall endeavour to do a little snippet on this painting once I'm properly remojofied.
I'm only partially remojofied; not firing on full mojos, but I've started Interior with Young Woman Seen from the Back as a stub and I'll expand it before this nomination expires.

  • Support – Unusual, intriguing. (But could we please re-title this nom in English?) Sca (talk) 14:09, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I think I might break it if I do that. I named it in Danish as I didn't know (and still don't) what the correct title is in English as there are four or five minor variations. You could learn Danish; it's very useful if you come across any of the seven Danes that don't speak English; or if you know how to move it without breaking it you can put it at "Interior with Young Woman Seen from the Back".

Well, in my oafish non-techie way I tried renaming it here, but evidently there's something I don't understand about the process. Sca (talk) 16:00, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think between the two of us we've battered it into submission; no doubt some FP veteran will turn up to tell us we've ruined FPC forever and won't be allowed to have a "Save page" button any more, but at least you don't have to learn Danish. Belle (talk) 16:23, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Tak! (Which BTW also means 'yes' in Polish.) Sca (talk) 21:43, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - it's quite lovely and also haunting. The next time I'm in mourning (or retiring!) it's going on my page. Victoria (tk) 00:40, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support -- But I have spent 10 minutes on trying to find out how to edit this as I came from here. Not all Danes hate bright colours. Just look at their flag and the houses in Nyhavn. In contrast to the Swedes who love white, they are positively chromatic!--Ipigott (talk) 20:24, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support -- yes, it's gloomy and uplifting at the same time. I thought from Swedish I could vaguely read Danish, but I learnt today that frokost is lunch not breakfast, and have is garden not sea, no idea why. Maybe Danes like to have lunch in gardens when they aren't standing about in darkened rooms. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:12, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
