Ved Skagens Stand 1894

"Ved Skagens Stand" (1894) by Carl Locher is a black and white print that depicts a group of fishermen pulling a boat onto the shore at Skagen. The print is an example of realism, with the artist capturing the harsh, unforgiving conditions of the sea and the hard work of the fishermen. Locher's print shows the dramatic impact of the sea as it is churned into whitecaps by the wind while the fishermen push the boat, their figures dwarfed by the vastness of the sea. A sense of realism is also conveyed by the use of detail in the clothing and the boat. This print is held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen.
