About the piece

Painted in 1887 by Danish artist Anna Ancher, this work depicts her husband Michael Ancher and Helene Christensen walking through the snowy streets of Skagen. The painting is notable for its bold use of silhouette and the dramatic contrast between the deep darks of the figures and the luminous shadows of the Danish winter landscape.
