About the piece
Painted by the Danish master Laurits Tuxen, this evocative work depicts women boiling train oil on the shores of Jutland. The painting is a study in light and atmosphere, with a heavily textured sky that contrasts against the grounded, earthy tones of the figures working on the dunes.
