MWW Artwork of the Day (6/21/21) Anders Askevold (Norwegian, 1834–1900) Ved Færgestedet (At the Ferryman's)(1887) Oil on canvas, 56 x 90 cm. Norsk Maritimt Museum, Oslo

Askevold was known as a member of the Düsseldorf school of painting with others like Adelsteen Normann. The scene pictured here is on the Nærøyfjord -- a fjord in the municipality of Aurland in Sogn og Fjordane, Norway -- which itself is a branch of the large Sognefjord.  Though the Nærøyfjord may have been an inspiration for Askevold, the picture is not a topographically correct reproduction of the place, but composed in the studio on the basis of studies and sketches.
