About the piece

Painted in 1898 by the renowned Norwegian artist Frits Thaulow, this oil study showcases his mastery of atmospheric light and gestural technique. The muted palette of lavender, cream, and sandy tones creates a serene, almost dreamlike quality, making it a sophisticated addition to any contemporary or traditional space.
