About the piece
Created in 1899, this oil sketch is a preparatory work for Harald Sohlberg's celebrated 'Summer Night'. The composition looks out from a balcony—featuring a table set with white linens—toward a dense Norwegian forest and a luminous blue twilight sky, evoking the mystical silence of the northern landscape.
