About the piece

Painted in 1880, Frits Thaulow’s 'Sommerdag i hagen' (Summer Day in the Garden) is a masterful example of naturalism and emerging impressionist influence. The scene depicts a serene domestic moment, with tea service set out in the dappled shade of a large tree while children linger by the garden fence. Thaulow, a key figure in Norwegian art, brilliantly captures the play of light on the wooden structures and lush foliage.
