About the piece

Painted in 1873 by Janus la Cour, this oil study captures the quiet beauty of the Danish landscape. The composition focuses on a dense cluster of alder bushes reaching toward the water's edge, rendered with the naturalistic precision and soft light characteristic of the Danish Golden Age tradition.
