"Konfirmations-søndag. Dragør" is an oil painting on canvas created by Danish artist Viggo Johansen between 1876-1880, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The painting portrays a scene of people gathered outside a house in the small Danish town of Dragør. It likely depicts a confirmation day, a religious rite of passage, with women and children standing in a contemplative mood against a somber, muted sunset backdrop. The painting's realistic portrayal of everyday life and its subdued palette are characteristic of Danish Realism, a movement that captured the everyday lives of ordinary people during the 19th century. This painting is a testament to Johansen's skill in depicting the human condition in a relatable and emotive way.
