Jagten begynder 19th century

"Jagten begynder" is a satirical cartoon from the 19th century, created by an anonymous artist, that is now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection. This pen-and-ink drawing depicts a humorous scene of men chasing a dog in the street. The men's exaggerated features and the presence of a dog suggest that the artwork is a satirical take on societal norms and social classes of the time. The title, which translates to "The Hunt Begins", further hints at the satirical nature of the work, suggesting that the artist was making a statement about the absurdity of human pursuits.
