Roses is a 1893 painting by P.S. Krøyer, one of the most successful artists of the community known as the Skagen Painters. The work is one of several that shows Krøyer's wife Marie. In this painting, Marie is seated in a deckchair under a large rose bush in the garden of the couple's house in Skagen, with their dog Rap asleep beside her. The painting was sold for 3.1 million Danish kroner in 1985 and was donated anonymously to the Skagens Museum in 2008.Painting: P.S. Krøyer
