…”The Road to the Sea was painted on the point of land just described, which stretches out between the Kattegat and the Skagerak. This is a most beautiful bit of work and shows a study of barren land near the sea, with a warmth of color over which hangs a most luminous sky.”…

“The Road to the Sea appeals with an opalescent sky over a flat expanse of green and russet grass, streaked by wagon-ruts leading to the distant shore. It soon goes to St. Louis, as James Ballard has bought it for his private collection.”
