"Ydun" 1818 - 1879

"Ydun" is a black and white engraving by Johan Aagaard depicting the Norse goddess of youth and immortality. The artwork is a portrait of Ydun, the goddess, holding an apple and a basket of fruit. She is dressed in a long gown and has her long hair in braids. The engraving is a detailed depiction of the goddess, with a focus on her features and clothing. The work is a striking example of Aagaard's skill as an engraver. "Ydun" is currently held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
