About the piece
Painted in 1861 by Alexandra Frosterus-Såltin, this evocative Finnish work depicts a somber funeral procession across a mirror-like lake. The composition masterfully balances the heavy thematic weight of the small coffin with a luminous, hazy sky and the gentle rhythm of the oarsman, creating a piece that is both grounding and deeply atmospheric.
