About the piece
Painted in 1890 by Edvard Petersen, this masterful work depicts a crowd of travelers at Larsens Square in Copenhagen, preparing for departure. The composition expertly balances the grand scale of the steamship with the intimate, poignant moments of families and individuals amidst their luggage, captured in a rich, naturalistic style.
