Et gårdsrum med en ædende hest 1858

"Et gårdsrum med en ædende hest" (A Courtyard with a Horse Eating) is an 1858 etching by Danish artist Johannes Wilhelm Zillen. It depicts a horse standing in a farmyard, eating hay from a cart. The scene is rendered with detailed attention to the textures of the hay, the wood of the cart, and the horse's coat. Zillen was known for his depictions of rural life and his work often reflected the changing social and economic landscape of Denmark in the 19th century. The etching, now in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Zillen's masterful use of line and his keen eye for detail.
