This bright and airy coastal painting showcases Knut Olsson’s sensitivity to light, color, and atmosphere. While Olsson was a Swedish artist, the landscape is most likely inspired by the Danish coast—a region he is known to have visited. The composition features soft blue skies, gentle waves on the sea, and cream-toned fields merging into sandy shores. Painted in vivid pastel colors, the scene captures the open, windswept character typical of Denmark’s west coast. Olsson’s expressive yet balanced brushwork reflects the quiet harmony between land and sea found throughout Scandinavian coastal environments.
