From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows a quiet countryside scene. A winding path cuts through a field of dry grass, leading toward a small lake surrounded by trees. In the distance, rolling hills fade into a soft, pale sky. The artist used gentle brushstrokes to blend colors, making the landscape feel calm and natural. The light is soft, with no harsh shadows.
