About the piece
Painted in 1900 by Georg Achen, this oil on canvas depicts a ravine at Bækkelund with a masterful play of light and shadow. The detailed textures of gnarled branches and lush green foliage are reflected in the still, dark water where ducks gather, all set against a brooding, silver-grey sky that exemplifies the artist's atmospheric style.
