About the piece
Painted in 1882 by Carl Locher, this evocative work depicts workers loading seaweed at Hornbæk Beach. The composition masterfully balances the dark, textured piles of seaweed against the movement of white-capped waves and an expansive, moody sky, characteristic of the Danish Skagen painters' interest in light and coastal life.
