About this artwork

Viggo Johansen's "Konfirmations-søndag. Dragør" (Confirmation Sunday, Dragør), created between 1876 and 1880, is an oil on canvas sketch depicting a group of figures gathered along a seaside path. The composition features a mix of men, women, and children, all dressed in period garments, suggesting a social gathering likely related to a confirmation event. The figures are arranged in a semi-circle and appear engaged in conversation or reflection, while a pair of ducks waddle nearby, adding a domestic element to the scene. The soft, muted colors and gentle light suggest a tranquil atmosphere, typical of Johansen’s style. This work reflects the artist's interest in local life and community interactions in Dragør, an area he often painted.
