Influenced by C.V. Nielsen’s drawing school, Wennerwald received early training from Carl Gotfred Würtzen (1825–1880), a key figure of the Danish Golden Age whose national romantic style greatly shaped Wennerwald’s approach.

Although national romanticism began to wane in favor of impressionism during Wennerwald’s era, its influence on his work remained profound. His landscapes exhibit sharp detailing, particularly in depictions of heathlands, moors, and rivers, where surfaces gleam with a polished clarity. Wennerwald often included farmhouses in his scenes, emphasizing their rich ochre roofs and stark whitewashed walls, harmonized with the encroaching natural surroundings. His vibrant use of color and meticulous composition create a passionate yet serene portrayal of Denmark’s countryside. This piece has an attribution mark,
