History
Lauritz Tuxen resided at Strandvejn 24 from 1901 to 1909. He began working on the painting in April 1904 and it was completed for the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition the following year.[1] The painting was shortly thereafter sold to a private buyer. It remained in the hands of the same family for more than one hundred years. In 2019, it was acquired by Skagen Museum with economic support from the Augustinus Foundation and the Ny Carlsberg Foundation.[2]
