About the piece

Created in 1910, this evocative pastel by Estonian artist Ants Laikmaa depicts the rugged beauty of Capri under a night sky. The work masterfully balances the heavy, dark mass of the island's silhouette with delicate, shimmering reflections of distant lights on the water's edge, creating a profound sense of quiet mystery.
