Description
From the auction notes: Paul Fischer lived on several addresses in Copenhagen throughout his life – Filippavej no. 8 being one of them. “His first home on Filippavej 8 was, according to the preferences of the time, cosy and middle-class, but not very grand, with a living room decorated in the Victorian style filled with walnut furniture […]” (Steffen Lindvald, ”Paul Fischer – københavnernes maler”, 1984 pp. 61–62, in Danish). The description fits the interior of the present painting perfectly. Fischer's first name originally was Poul, but inspired by his travels to France, where he went for the first time in 1891, he changed it to the more French-like Paul. The dedication is to the landscape painter Viggo Langer (1860–1942).

(Reusing this file)
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1934, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 80 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
