Slette med træer 1788 - 1860

"Slette med træer" is a 19th-century Danish etching by Søren Henrik Petersen, a prolific Danish artist who created detailed landscapes and architectural scenes. This particular work, measuring just 90mm by 146mm, showcases Petersen's signature style: precise, finely-detailed linework depicting a small group of trees set against a simple, blank background. This focus on the natural world, particularly trees, is a recurring motif in Petersen's works. The piece is held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, a leading museum for Danish art.
