"En and" (Danish for "A Duck") is a woodcut created by Danish artist Joakim Skovgaard between 1865 and 1870. The simple yet striking black and white image depicts a duck nestled among tall grasses, showcasing Skovgaard's talent for capturing the essence of nature through precise, minimalist lines. This small-scale artwork, measuring just 45 mm in height and 50 mm in width, is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
