It Was So Lovely Out in the Country…
1927 - 1928
Fritz Syberg captures a breezy summer day in the Danish countryside with this loose, energetic sketch. The scene features rolling fields of golden grain and lush greenery, framed by a rustic wooden fence and a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. At the bottom, Syberg scribbled a poetic note in Danish: 'It was so lovely out in the country, it was summer, the corn stood yellow, the forest green,' perfectly matching the warm, pastoral vibe. As a key figure among the Funen Painters, Syberg often celebrated the simple beauty of rural life, making this piece feel like a quick, joyful snapshot of a perfect summer afternoon.
