Indramning: Blomster og Fugle 1847 - 1938

"Indramning: Blomster og Fugle" (Framing: Flowers and Birds) is a delicate black and white engraving by Danish artist F. Hendriksen, created between 1847 and 1938. This small-scale work, now housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, features a frame of intertwined vines, flowers, and birds, delicately rendered in a detailed and precise style characteristic of the engraving medium. The empty space within the frame suggests that this piece may have been intended as a decorative element for a larger work, a common practice during the 19th century. This piece offers a glimpse into the intricate world of decorative art during this period, where nature and its details provided inspiration for artistic embellishment.
