"Skolemesteren" (The Schoolmaster) is a lithograph by Danish artist Joel Ballin, created between 1822 and 1885. It depicts a scene from a rural schoolhouse, featuring a stern-looking schoolmaster instructing a group of children. The artwork is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, and measures 435 mm (height) x 360 mm (width). Ballin's work often focused on everyday life, and "Skolemesteren" provides a glimpse into the realities of education in 19th century Denmark. The lithograph's detailed depiction of the classroom setting, including the children's clothing and the schoolmaster's posture, contributes to its historical and social significance.
