At the Riding School 1917 - 1919

"At the Riding School" (1917-1919) by Ludvig Karsten depicts a scene of people standing in a dimly lit space, with a horse partially visible on the left. The painting, characterized by its loose brushstrokes and muted color palette, evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue. The figures are indistinct, their features obscured by shadows, suggesting a moment of quiet contemplation or anticipation. This work, held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Karsten's mastery of atmospheric painting, capturing a fleeting and intimate moment in a way that resonates with viewers.
