This dramatic seascape, painted in 1939, tells the story of a small fishing crew caught in rough weather off the Scandinavian coast. The men, working desperately to steady their boat, appear to have run aground on submerged rocks, just within sight of the shore. The sea churns around them, its white-capped waves crashing against the hull, while a muted sky looms overhead, heavy with the weight of wind and spray. Painted with realism and restraint, the scene captures the age-old struggle between man and nature, and the razor-thin line between livelihood and loss. A timeless Nordic tale of endurance and near escape.
Condition: good vintage condition, frame with wear.
