"View of the Outer Harbour of Copenhagen from a Field near the Institute for the Blind," created in 1889 by Joakim Skovgaard, offers a unique perspective of the Danish capital. Joakim Skovgaard (1856–1933) was a versatile Danish artist, recognized for his contributions to painting, sculpture, and crafts. This work, rendered in brush, watercolor, and pencil on paper, depicts the expansive view of Copenhagen's outer harbor as seen from a field adjacent to the Institute for the Blind. The painting exemplifies Skovgaard's naturalistic style, capturing the urban landscape with an eye for detail and the atmospheric conditions of the scene. It provides a glimpse into the everyday surroundings of Copenhagen during the late 19th century.
