"Hanen" (1845) is a lithograph by Adolph Kittendorff, a Danish artist known for his animal and landscape depictions. This small-scale work showcases the artist's meticulous detail and keen observation of nature. The print features a rooster and three hens, rendered in a realistic style, with a focus on their feathery textures and postures. The composition is simple, placing the animals against a backdrop of a farmhouse, creating a sense of tranquility and everyday life. The artwork, held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is an example of Kittendorff's contributions to the Danish artistic landscape of the 19th century.
