About the piece
Painted in 1880 by August Malmström, this scene captures a poignant moment from the Norse Frithiof's Saga. The composition features Ingeborg leaning against carved wooden pillars, her figure illuminated with soft light against a brooding backdrop of crashing waves and a dark, clouded sky.
