(b. 1824, Skive, Jutland, d. 1907, Sorø)

Surely He Will Come?

1879
Oil on canvas, 56 x 45 cm
Hirschsprung Collection, Copenhagen

The picture features a young woman standing in an open doorway looking off to one side. One foot is on the door frame, and one foot is on the ground outside. The interior is dark and shadowed. The outside is a sunlit agrarian landscape. The title of the painting refers to her inner dialogue.

The painting is typical of Dalsgaard's style.
