Familieliv i et lille fiskerleje nord for Helsingør is a 1855 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a family by the shore. The man sits on a rock, hat pulled low, watching the water. His wife and child crouch nearby, sorting something in a basket. Behind them, a small boat rests on the beach, and a few more boats float in the distance. The shore is rocky, with patches of grass and a few trees on the hillside. The photo looks like it was taken in the mid-1800s, showing everyday life near the water. The family’s clothes and the boats suggest they might rely on fishing.
