This painting by Adolf Gustav Schweitzer shows a fjord in the twilight. Emperor William II, who was one of Schweitzer’s customers, was a huge admirer of Norway and might have inspired the artist to paint this piece. The painting shows in an expressive manner a view upon a painterly located fjord. Small cottages line the water and behind these arise the massive mountains that partially still covered in snow. The painting is kept in quiet, earthly colours such as grey, brown, green and blue.


The painting has been cleaned and newly varnished and the borders show traces of an earlier framing. The wooden frame is new. The overall dimensions, framed, are 64 x 80 cm, the dimensions of the stretcher frame is 50 x 66.5 cm.
