Winter Evening

Vinterkveld – 1985

Title Translation: Winter Evening
Medium: Watercolour on paper
Signature: Signed “Sigurd Bergmann”

Vinterkveld captures a moment of profound stillness at the end of a snowy day. The painting is suffused with a velvety palette of mauves, deep lilacs, and faded rose tones that blend into a sky glowing with winter’s dusk. A solitary red barn anchors the composition, its walls seemingly absorbing the last light from a sky awash in cool fire.

Frosted trees and quiet shrubs blend into the surrounding snow, softened almost to abstraction—an impressionist whisper of winter’s hush. Sigurd’s minimalistic yet emotive brushwork makes this piece a poetic meditation on silence, light, and the long evenings of the Nordic winter.
