About the piece

Painted in 1884 by Danish artist Holger Møller, this oil study captures the serene atmosphere of a rural smallholding. The composition centers on the interplay between the textured white walls of the cottage and its heavy, weathered thatched roof, while the presence of a young girl by the fence adds a gentle narrative touch to the pastoral setting.
