About the piece
Painted in 1879 by Michael Ancher, this work exemplifies the atmospheric realism of the Skagen Painters. The scene depicts a group of fisherwomen gathered on Sladrebakken, their figures and colorful traditional headscarves illuminated by the soft, warm glow of a Danish summer evening.
