Laurits Tuxen (Dec. 9, 1853 - 1927) was a Danish painter, sculptor and professor at the Royal Academy of Art in Copenhagen. He is inextricably associated with Skagen and helped found the Art Museum up there.He painted in many genres. Originally he desired to be a marine painter, and he does do a good “Danish Turner”, but his talent was great enough to do portraits, history painting, landscapes and genre-type canvases of the locals.Here is his portrait of his daughter in carnival dress:Laurits Tuxen: The Artist’s Daughter in Fancy Dress, 1915 - oil on canvas (SMK) -- source link
