Uglen og Nattergalen 1760

"Uglen og Nattergalen" (The Owl and the Nightingale), a 1760 etching by Danish artist Alexia von Lode, depicts a detailed scene of a forest. The artwork features a large, prominent tree with an owl perched on a branch, while a nightingale sits on a lower branch. The intricate detail of the tree bark and the surrounding foliage reveals Lode's mastery of this technique. The scene is further enriched by the inclusion of a distant farmhouse and a hint of a creek in the foreground, creating a serene and naturalistic ambiance.
