About the piece

Painted in 1899, Peder Severin Krøyer’s masterpiece depicts the artist and his wife, Marie, during a quiet twilight walk at Skagen. A central work of the Skagen Painters, it beautifully renders the atmospheric harmony between the blue sky and the still sea, punctuated by the warm glow of the moon's reflection.
