Gammelt egetræ 1873 - 1948

"Gammelt egetræ" (Old Oak Tree) is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Svend Hammershøi, completed between 1873 and 1948. The minimalist composition depicts a solitary, bare-branched oak tree standing atop a rocky hill. The muted tones and subtle details evoke a sense of quiet solitude and the passage of time. Hammershøi's focus on natural forms and evocative simplicity is characteristic of his artistic style. This piece is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcasing the artist's profound connection to the Danish landscape and his ability to capture the essence of nature through meticulous observation.
