books0977: Interior with red chair. Kitty Kielland (Norwegian, 1843-1914). Oil on board. Although Kielland received some training in drawing and painting, it was not until she turned thirty that she was allowed to train as a professional artist. In 1873 she traveled to Karlsruhe where she was trained by Hans Gude. As a woman Kielland was forced to take private lessons from Gude instead of joining his landscape painting class. -- source link
