Facts: A view of the wailed castle of Kronborg, That was the dramatic setting of Shakespeare's Hamlet. In the foreground flies swans, the danish national bird, and inevitably our thourght go to Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale of the Ugly Duckling. Denmark is in the grib of an icy winter, and the Sound has frozen over.
The artist has so elegantly captured the atmosphere of deep silince that shrouds the landscape when a severe frost sets in. The only sound is the whirring beat of the swans wings.
