Gade i Jægersborg 1882 - 1883

"Gade i Jægersborg" is an etching by Danish artist Louise Ravn-Hansen, created between 1882 and 1883. This small-scale work, measuring just 117 mm by 80 mm, depicts a narrow alleyway in Jægersborg, Denmark. Ravn-Hansen's meticulous detail captures the texture of the cobbled path, the wooden doors, and the foliage that frames the scene. The etching provides a glimpse into the everyday life of the time, with a lone figure walking through the alleyway, accompanied by a few chickens. The artist was known for her depictions of everyday life and rural scenes, and "Gade i Jægersborg" is a fine example of her ability to capture the beauty of simple moments. The artwork is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
