Anna Ancher (1859-1935) is considered to be one of the finest among Scandinavian pastel artists, a pioneer of the technique which came into fashion in the 1880s. Elisabeth Fabritius documents Anna Ancher’s technique, methods and preferred colours and brings us closer to Anna Ancher’s artistic intention, which are far more clearly expressed in the pastel than in Ancher’s oil paintings.
