From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows a person standing on a wooden dock by the water. They’re naked, with a towel wrapped around their head. The background is a rough, choppy sea in soft blues and grays, while the figure is painted in warm browns and whites. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like a sketch. The person’s posture is relaxed, leaning slightly on the dock as if resting. If you like this style, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more works like it.
