RELATED WORK Frits Thaulow, Snowy Landscape, 1886, pastel on canvas, 40 x 60 cm, Göteborg, Göteborgs
Konstmuseum, GKM 1221 "I find Mr. Thaulow even more personal and powerful than in painting. His pastel riverbanks, either in autumn or in the snowy season, are strikingly poetic in their perfection of reality. It is not possible to render with more truth the dampness of melted snow, the elegiac sadness of nature.
Mr. Thaulow is decidedly a great artist."
Ernest Hoschedé, Brelan de Salons, Charles Blot, Paris: 1890, p. 312
