Rungsted 1881

Louise Ravn-Hansen's "Rungsted" (1881) is a delicate etching depicting a rural Danish landscape. The scene focuses on a small thatched-roof cottage nestled amidst lush foliage. The artist captures the serenity of the countryside with fine, detailed lines, emphasizing the textures of the trees, thatch, and brickwork. The image evokes a sense of tranquility and simplicity, characteristic of the Danish Golden Age. This small, intimate work, currently held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Ravn-Hansen's ability to capture the beauty of everyday life through her skillful use of line and shading.
