View of Sommerspiret, the Cliffs of Møn

Zee en kust, 1846

This painting shows a view of tall white cliffs on the left and right descending towards the vibrant blue sea. Small ships dot the water below. Two people towards the bottom of the painting look out across the cliffs with their backs to us. They are surrounded by gray rocks covered with light green grass, and there is a cluster of green trees in front of them. One person wears a dress and a shawl over their head, while the other wears a wide-brimmed yellow hat and appears to be holding a book or piece of paper.
