The painting is titled Shipping on the Oresund with Helsingor and Kronborg Castle in the Distance. It was created in 1896 by Carl Emil Baagöe. The artist used a mix of techniques, including graphite and scratching out, on a special paper called papier pellee. This paper has a gray tint, which might have helped Baagöe create a sense of depth. The painting is part of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and you can learn more about Impressionism there.
