The most famous pictures include Fiskekuttere i den lyse måneskinsnat (“ Fishing cutter in the bright moonlit night”, 1888), Skagen Rev fyrskib (“ Lightship on the Reef of Skagen”, 1892) and above all Ved ageposten (“The stagecoach”, 1885) - this horse-drawn carriage was the only way to travel between Frederikshavn and Skagen before the railway line opened in 1890.
