This painting is attributed to Danish artist Richard Winther (1926-2007). Winther studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts where he later became a professor. He founded the exhibition group Linien II, and his early work focused on a spontaneous-abstract style of painting. He received several awards for his work, including the Eckersberg Medal in 1971, the Thorvaldsen Medal in 1997, and the Prince Eugen Medal.

In this atmospheric painting, we are invited to step into another world that carries a dreamlike quality. The palette is limited in colour choices and this has the effect of creating a cohesive statement, and places emphasis on the sharp contrast between light and dark. This bold contrast between tones adds to the sense of drama.

Areas of unmixed paint and visible lines left by brush bristles give the painting spontaneity, energy and rawness. It appears that the artist has also applied a thin colour wash of a subtle green hue to the surface of the painting, and this has the effect of unifying the whole piece.
