Technical description

Another title, “Windy Landscape”, is inscribed by Astrup on the reverse side of the canvas. This title draws attention to the way nature is behaving around the children. The wind plays with the treetops and grass fields, and combines the autumn colours together into a colourful palette. This is conveyed in a highly painterly manner, which is particularly visible in the painting’s middle ground.
