At the Edge of the Wood 1915

"At the Edge of the Wood" is a 1915 oil painting by Danish artist Harald Giersing, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The painting showcases a serene forest landscape, characterized by thick brushstrokes and a muted palette of greens and yellows. Giersing's signature style, evident in this work, captures the essence of nature through a simplified, yet expressive approach, inviting viewers to contemplate the tranquility of the forest. The piece's loose composition and emphasis on the interplay of light and shadow add depth and dimension to the scene, enhancing the impressionistic feel of the work.
