Believed to depict the Faroe Islands, this atmospheric seascape was painted following Carl Langbein Toft's visit to the islands in 1920–21. A steamship and breaching whale animate the foreground, while snow-capped hills evoke the dramatic landscape of the North Atlantic. Executed in oil on metal, the work captures the changing light and rugged beauty of the region.
