Et bondeslagsmål 1751 - 1817

"Et bondeslagsmål" (A Peasant Brawl) is an etching by Georg Haas, a Danish artist known for his detailed and often humorous depictions of everyday life. This particular artwork, created between 1751 and 1817, captures a chaotic scene of a physical altercation between three individuals. The etching's small dimensions, 80 mm x 108 mm, add to the sense of intimacy and immediacy of the scene. Haas's masterful use of line and shading conveys the energy and movement of the struggle, while the simple background setting emphasizes the central drama. The print, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, is a testament to Haas's talent for capturing the raw emotion and dynamism of human interaction.
