About the piece

Painted in 1884, this atmospheric work by Peder Severin Krøyer captures a quiet moment on the South Beach of Skagen. The artist employs broad, confident brushstrokes and a rich palette of deep blues and warm ochres to depict a young fisher boy resting beside his wheelbarrow as the evening light reflects on the water.
