Helvig Kinch

In the early 20th-century, she participated in archaeological research near Lindos on the island of Rhodes, creating landscapes of the area and illustrating the artefacts discovered there.

[1][2][3] Born on 10 December 1872, Agnete Helvig Amsinck was the daughter of the high-ranking official Conrad Amsinch (1830–1897) and Caroline Amalie Hansen (1840–1922).

Many of her illustrations are included in her husband's major work Fouilles de Vroulia (Rhodes) (Berlin 1914) while others are in the collections of the Carlsberg Foundation or the National Museum of Denmark.

Starting with 75 members, the society received support from the painter Anna Ancher and the sculptor Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen.

[1][5] Following her husband's death in 1921, Kinch continued to paint animals, including some from her trips to Brittany and Normandy in 1926 and 1930, and to the north of Italy in 1933.
