Description

Denmark Scott #864 (1988) – Fritz Syberg Painting “Overkærby Bakke, Winter 1917” – Used

This Danish commemorative stamp reproduces “Overkærby Bakke, Winter 1917” by Fritz Syberg (1862–1939), one of Denmark’s most beloved painters associated with the Funen School. Issued in 1988, the stamp reflects Syberg’s quiet realism and deep sensitivity to landscape, season, and everyday rural life.

The painting depicts a snow-covered countryside scene rendered in muted winter tones, capturing both stillness and subtle movement within the Danish landscape. Syberg’s work is known for its emotional restraint and close observation of nature, qualities that translate beautifully into this finely printed stamp.

This example is offered used, with a light, unobtrusive cancellation and strong overall eye appeal. A fine choice for collectors of Denmark, art-themed stamps, or Scandinavian painting.
