About the piece
Created around 1900, this sheet of oil studies by Norwegian artist Anders Askevold showcases his skill in capturing human form and traditional attire. The work features six distinct figures—including a woman knitting and a man with a carrying yoke—rendered with expressive textures and a grounded, earthy color scheme that reflects the artist's focus on national romanticism.
