About the piece
Painted in 1901 by the renowned Norwegian naturalist Christian Krohg, this work titled 'Trise i arbeid' (The Stewardess at Work) is a study in movement and resilience. Krohg utilizes bold, textured brushwork to depict a woman performing her duties aboard a ship, the turbulent sea and sky behind her painted with a luminous, atmospheric quality characteristic of Northern European maritime art.
