Siv i vandkant 1872

"Siv i vandkant" (Reeds by the Water's Edge) is a delicate pencil drawing by Danish artist P.C. Skovgaard, executed in 1872. The simple composition showcases Skovgaard's keen observation of nature, with a focus on the delicate lines and forms of reeds along a water's edge. The drawing's subtle detail and minimalist approach exemplifies the artist's signature style, which was characterized by a refined and meticulous rendering of natural landscapes. This small-scale work is housed at SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst, a testament to Skovgaard's enduring legacy in Danish art.
