En busk 1869

"En busk" (Danish for "a bush") is a delicate pencil drawing by P.C. Skovgaard, a Danish artist known for his landscapes and nature studies. Created in 1869, the artwork showcases Skovgaard's meticulous observation of the natural world. The simple composition, featuring a single bush rendered with fine lines, exemplifies Skovgaard's approach to capturing the essence of nature. The work's simplicity and focus on detail make it a fine example of Danish realism, a movement that emphasized the accurate portrayal of everyday life and natural phenomena. "En busk" is currently part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
