Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature | | Danish term or phrase: parforce venden | "Deres Hustrus Portræt er vel nok det betydeligste Billed, det er smukt og staar mandigt og godt. Men der er lidt en parforce venden lige imod og der er nogen i som det røde Liv staar til de øvrig farver som begge virke haardt paa et almindelig danske øje. Men alligevel til Lykke med billedet."
May it help to know that the letter, from which the sentence is excerpted, has been written in 1901. |
