Marsk Stigs døtre 1893

"Marsk Stigs døtre" (1893) by Danish artist Geskel Saloman is a Romantic depiction of two women walking through a misty landscape. The painting features a sense of drama and mystery, with the figures shrouded in darkness and their destination uncertain. The work reflects the artist's interest in mythology and folklore, with its subject matter likely drawn from a Danish legend or ballad. The painting, now at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies Saloman's signature style of atmospheric realism, using light and shadow to create a deeply emotive scene.
