Artwork Story

‘Winter Evening’ captures a quiet Nordic street wrapped in snow, where soft lamplight glows against the deep blue of dusk. The piece balances stillness and life, with subtle signs of movement—footsteps in the snow, smoke from a chimney—giving it a lived-in feeling. It’s the kind of scene that doesn’t shout, but lingers.

Wentzel’s brushwork is gentle but deliberate, layering muted tones to evoke the hush of winter. It’s more than just a landscape—it’s a moment frozen in time that pulls you into its calm, slightly melancholic atmosphere.
