Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1900s.
From our viewpoint atop the cliffs, the beach is peppered with distant signs of life. Four bathing machines with wheels pushed into damp sand stand idle. While several figures, perhaps fishermen, gather alongside sailboats.
Schiøttz-Jensen adored Lønstrup and painted here often between 1900 and 1920. In 1902, he took his easel onto the beach itself and again in 1909. But here, he's captured an interesting elevated perspective.
His works were widely exhibited during his lifetime and he was awarded the Academy Art Prize twice along with the first class annual medal in 1895.
