"Vinget genius med en sigte" (Winged Genius with a Sieve) is an etching by Danish artist Gerhard Ludvig Lahde (1765-1833). The artwork depicts a winged figure, possibly an angel, kneeling and holding a sieve. The figure’s anatomy is realistically drawn, and the composition is balanced and harmonious, characteristic of Lahde's neoclassical style. This etching, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, demonstrates Lahde's mastery of line and detail, capturing the delicate beauty of his subject matter.
