This painting, dated 1918, and exhibited in Stockholm in 1918. The colour palette and animated setting is delightful. The piece possibly depicts the artist’s second wife Johanne with their daughter Ruth. Viggo Pedersen was married to Elisabeth Borup in the early 1880s, with whom he had four children between 1885 and 1896, Ruth Sora Viggo Pedersen, Christen Jul Viggo Pedersen, Stefan Viggo Pedersen, and Johannes “Ais” Viggo Pedersen. When his wife Elisabeth died in 1905 at the age of only 45, Viggo Pedersen remarried to Johanne Louise Aagaard with whom he had one more son, Enoch Viggo Pedersen.
