In Krøyer's early years in Skagen he and<br />

Marie rented a modest house owned by a local<br />

woman, Mrs. Bentsen. The painter Viggo<br />

Johansen had rented it before and later<br />

Laurits Tuxen took over. (Today the house is<br />

better k<strong>now</strong>n as The Tuxen villa). The<br />

house already had large studio windows so<br />

it was perfect for P. S. Krøyer who immediately<br />

set up his studio and started to paint.<br />

The most well-k<strong>now</strong>n painting from this early<br />

period is Marie Krøyer and the hunting dog<br />

Rap by moonlight on Skagen beach.<br />
