A poetic portrait of the newly married Marie on her honeymoon in the south. Notice the bright wedding ring on her right hand.
Marie and P.S. Krøyer were married on 23 July 1889 in Augsburg at her parents’ home. From there the couple went on their honeymoon to Stenbjerg in Jutland, where they painted together outside under the open sky. After a short stay in Copenhagen they continued on their honeymoon to Florence, Rome, Capri and Naples, where Marie became seriously ill for a longer period, and P.S. Krøyer did not get much painting done. On their arrival at Amalfi everything looked brighter. The present painting was one of the results of their stay in Amalfi.
