Description
For some unexplained reason the experts at Bruun Rasmussen omitted the fact that this painting seems to be a study for a similarly sized painting from 1896, now at Skagens Museum. Both paintings show the four Holst sisters and a friend, Ida, Anna, Elisabeth Bang (who later married the violinist Anton Svendsen), Minne and Sophie Holst. The experts were also completely silent about the inscription, which the uploader read as stated in the inscription part. Since 2001 this painting has been the most valuable Michael Ancher painting sold at an auction. kunstnyt.dk.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1927, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 95 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
