About the piece

Painted in 1907 by Danish artist Peter Hansen, this vibrant work depicts children at play in Enghave Square. The composition is filled with movement and the dappled sunlight of a summer afternoon, rendered with the loose, atmospheric brushwork characteristic of the Fynboerne painters.
