Many fisher houses with chimneys for smoking fish in Bornholm have been replaced by a few modern manufacturies - this plain air painting includes a hint towards that development. As one can see the square painting on thick cotton canvas needs a board to be mounted on, or a frame. Until then sending it carefully rolled up remains an option.
Now it goes up for auction

This old fisher house has its chimney for smoking fish next to it - a former "røgeri" right at the harbour with a great view overlooking the Baltic Sea, and built high enough to be protected from stormy waters. Gudhjem is the name of the village - translated it means good home.

Ein altes Fischerhaus mit Räucherkamin daneben, direkt am Hafen von Gudhjem gelegen mit einer grossartigen Aussicht auf die Ostsee - und hoch genug gelegen, um vor stürmischen Wellen geschützt zu sein. Gudhem heißt der Ort, übersetzt  "gutes Heim / Zuhause".
