About the piece
Painted in 1893 by Agnes Slott-Møller, this work depicts the Danish hero Niels Ebbesen. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the knight's armor and the textured mane of the horse, while the brooding sky adds a sense of epic narrative and drama typical of late 19th-century history painting.
