About the piece

Painted in 1906 by Michael Ancher, this oil on panel work captures the evocative light of a sunset at Skagen. The composition features broad, expressive brushstrokes that render the shifting colors of the sky and their reflection on the rhythmic waves and dark shoreline, reflecting the mastery of the Skagen Painters.
