Nissen 1845

"Nissen," an 1845 lithograph by Adolph Kittendorff, depicts a woman kneeling on the floor, offering a small dish to a cat. The scene is rendered in detailed, cross-hatched lines, showcasing the artist's meticulous style. The composition is intimate and focused, drawing the viewer's eye to the interaction between the woman and the cat. Kittendorff was known for his depictions of everyday life, and this work exemplifies his interest in capturing the simple yet poignant moments of domesticity. The work is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
