About the piece
Painted in 1904 by Skagen artist Anna Ancher, this work captures a moment of communal labor in a sun-drenched rustic interior. The composition focuses on the tactile reality of plucking geese, rendered with the soft, luminous light and muted palette that define Ancher's contribution to Danish Impressionism.
