About the piece
Painted in 1913 by Danish artist Poul Simon Christiansen, this Impressionist work beautifully captures the atmosphere of the Sound. The composition is characterized by rhythmic, textured brushstrokes that define the choppy waves and voluminous, sun-tipped clouds, creating a sense of movement and light that is typical of European marine painting of the early 20th century.
