Husmandsfamilien 1855

"Husmandsfamilien" (1855) by H.J. Hammer is a black and white etching depicting a family outside a rural home. The scene shows a man sharpening a tool, a boy standing nearby, and a woman in the doorway, all in front of a thatched-roof cottage. The image likely represents a scene of everyday life in 19th-century Denmark, highlighting the simplicity and routine of rural living. The etching's detail and realistic depiction of the figures and setting showcase Hammer's skill as a printmaker. This work is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
