Mor Thule 1868

"Mor Thule" is a lithograph by Danish artist Kristian Zahrtmann, created in 1868. The artwork, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, features a close-up portrait of an elderly woman, likely a peasant, with a focus on her weathered face and simple attire. Zahrtmann's distinctive style, characterized by precise linework and a focus on realistic detail, effectively captures the subject's age and experience. The lithograph, a significant example of Danish Realism, offers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during the 19th century.
