This fine atmospheric painting is a study for “Landskab fra Næstvedegnen. Efter Solnedgang”. (Landscape near Næstved. After sunset. H. Chr. Christensen, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Works of L. A. Ring no. 100), that one a study for one of L. A. Ring's well-known paintings “Aften. Mørket er ved at folde sig ud over et vidtstrakt Landskab med en Sø i Forgrunden. En Kvinde har træt sat sig til at hvile i Vejkanten. I luften ses Døden som en svævende Skygge” (Evening. The dark is unfolding over a vast landscape with a lake in the foreground. A tired woman is resting at the roadside. In the air, death is seen as a floating shadow." That one with the measurements 118×94. H. Chr. Christensen, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Works of L. A. Ring no. 98).

The Fine Art Department would like to thank the art historian Gitte Ditlevsen for helping in cataloging this painting.
