About the piece

Painted in 1852 by Vilhelm Kyhn, this work depicts a peaceful scene from the artist's own garden overlooking St. Jørgens Lake in Copenhagen. The composition uses lush, dark foliage in the foreground to frame a sun-drenched middle ground, where the warm glow of dusk illuminates a grazing horse and the calm water beyond, epitomizing the serenity of the Danish Golden Age.
