"Kystlandskab, i forgrunden to kvinder, der sælger fisk" is a 1750-1795 etching by French artist Jeanne Françoise Ozanne, held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark. The work depicts a picturesque coastal scene, featuring a ruined building in the foreground and a sailboat in the distance. The detail of the women selling fish provides insight into daily life, while the overall romantic and idealized depiction of the landscape reflects the popular taste for sentimental and picturesque art in the 18th century. This small-format print (161 mm x 214 mm) demonstrates Ozanne's skill in capturing natural beauty, and her attention to detail.
