Landscape with Figures is a 1911 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows two people sitting on a rocky hillside. One wears a light hat and loose clothing, holding something in their lap. The other sits sideways, also in a hat, with a book or paper on their knees. Behind them, the landscape is rough and blurred—lots of gray and white brushstrokes that look like hills or trees. The brushwork is thick in places, giving the scene a textured, almost sketchy feel. The colors are mostly muted, with dark shadows and light highlights. If you like this style, look up impasto.
