About the piece

Painted in 1881 by Hermann Friedrich von Schrenck, this oil study captures the quiet industry of the Emajõgi river in Estonia. The composition balances the cool, receding tones of the water and sky against the warm light emanating from a riverside building and the glowing celestial body on the horizon, reflecting the serene transition from day to evening.
