Wilhelm von Gegerfelt, from Gothenburg, was a Swedish landscape and marine painter. After studying at the Royal Danish Academy and the Royal Swedish Academy, he lived in Düsseldorf and Paris. His success as a painter is underscored by several exhibitions in various European cities.
This portrait-format view of fishing boats at dusk captivates with its expressive lighting and delicate brushwork, which, especially in the depiction of the water's surface, is reminiscent of the French Impressionists.
