About the piece

Painted in 1832, this study by Frederik Sødring depicts the ruins of Brahehus castle overlooking the Swedish landscape. Sødring expertly renders the tactile quality of the weathered masonry and the soft, northern light filtering through the arched windows, while two soaring birds add a touch of movement to this contemplative, romantic scene.
