    This work depicts the classroom in the small school in Skagen. The teacher, dressed in black, resembles a Madame Henriksen who can be seen in several paintings with motifs from Skagen by Björck and other artists. No time was wasted – while the boys concentrate on their reading their teacher is spinning wool.
