About this work

Overview

Studie fra Furesøen, attributed to the artist known as 1305_person, dates to around 1850 and is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. The work is a monochrome study that presents a tranquil lakeside scene, rendered in a balanced composition that guides the eye from the forested left margin toward the distant horizon.

Subject & Meaning

The image depicts a quiet natural setting: a stand of trees rises on the left side of the frame, while a smooth expanse of water extends to the right, meeting the sky at the horizon. The subdued palette and calm atmosphere invite contemplation of the interplay between land and water, emphasizing a sense of stillness.

Technique & Style

Executed in black and white, the study relies on tonal contrasts to model form. Delicate gradations of light and shadow define the foliage and water surface, creating depth through chiaroscuro-like effects without color. The artist’s handling of line and tone suggests a focus on atmospheric perspective rather than detailed representation.

History & Provenance

Created circa 1850, the work entered the Museum of Ethnography’s holdings at an unspecified date, where it remains part of the institution’s visual documentation of 19th‑century landscape studies. Its attribution to 1305_person reflects cataloguing conventions used by the museum for works whose creators are identified by internal reference numbers.
