N.S. Nebelong was a Danish architect who designed and constructed a large number of public buildings, such as custom houses, court houses and jail facilities - plus lighthouses along the Danish coasts.

Here is the Grey Lighthouse in Skagen which is still a landmark on the narrow spit dividing Skagerak and Kattegat - a danger spot in the 19th century. The lighthouse was completed in 1858, and in 2017 converted to a bird life experience center.

The fishermen might be looking north towards Grenen, the tip of the Skagen Odde peninsula where ships were frequently stranded.

Michael Ancher - Will he round the point? circa 1880, oil on canvas Michael Peter Ancher (1849 - 1927) is a Danish realist artist. He is famous for his paintings of fishermen, their experiences at sea, and the daily life of their communities. Ancher was born and grew up on the on the island of Bornholm. At the age of 16, he began his apprenticeship as a clerk in Djursland. He drew and painted in his spare time, eventually studying at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. In 1874, Ancher moved to the fishing village of Skagen and joined the small community of Skagen artists. Archer was inspired to paint reality and the natural light and colours that surrounded him. He combined classical compositions with naturalism.

Finally able to properly emulate Lord Prince Dairagin Mourningspire’s bug-like alien eyes, looking insectlike from a distance, but looking more human up close, albeit with a purple scelera thanks to @pralinesims! Her dimples and chin cleft skin details also really helped me bring the person in my head to life.
