The Blue Kitchen (Norwegian: Det blå kjøkken; dated 1913) is the title of a neo-impressionist painting by Norwegian artist Ludvig Karsten, showing a kitchen table ready for breakfast, while the morning sun is shining through the window.
[1][2] In 1913 Karsten was newly married, and the couple moved from Copenhagen to the Norwegian island Hvasser.
In his notebook he called it Det blaa Vindue, and he had paid a price of 125 kr.
[2] An earlier rejected study by Karsten, Oppstilling ved vindu is located on the back side of his painting Pløyemark from 1909.
Karsten's painting From my blue Kitchen from 1913, where his wife Misse is modelled standing in their kitchen, was exhibited in Kristiania from March to April 1913, and is currently located at Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
