About the piece

Created in 1906 by Swedish artist Nils Kreuger, this oil painting captures the quiet, atmospheric transition of an August twilight. Using his signature technique of small, rhythmic brushstrokes, Kreuger depicts two horses grazing peacefully on a coastal hillside, creating a shimmering effect that unifies the landscape with the soft light of the evening sky.
