From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting depicts a scene from the resurrection of Jesus, with Jesus standing in the center, surrounded by clouds. He is dressed in a long white robe and has a halo around his head. Four men are shown around him, two on either side, each with a unique expression. The background is a light gray color, with some darker gray clouds at the bottom. One interesting detail is the way the artist has used watercolor to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The clouds are soft and feathery, while the figures are more defined.
