The street chain in Balderswells

"The street chain in Balderswells" is a 1907 painting by Laurits Andersen Ring.  Housed at Anchers Hus, the artwork measures 0.439 meters in width and 0.411 meters in height.

The painting depicts a rural scene, likely in Denmark, showing a dirt road that forks at a crossroads. The road is worn, showing tire tracks and signs of use. Two whitewashed houses with thatched roofs are visible on the left, partially obscured by bare, winter trees. A low stone wall is partially visible near the houses. A wooden fence or gate is also present. The background shows more trees and a flat, open landscape under a muted, overcast sky. The overall color palette is subdued, with browns, grays, and muted greens dominating. A patch of vibrant teal or blue-green is visible in the lower right, possibly representing a wet area or vegetation. The style is characteristic of realism, capturing the details of the rural landscape with a focus on texture and light.
