En Amagerpige 1804

"En Amagerpige" (1804) is a lithograph by Danish artist Gerhard Ludvig Lahde (1765-1833). This print depicts a young woman from Amager, an island near Copenhagen, in profile, holding a carrot in her hand. The detailed rendering of her traditional clothing, including a kerchief and a cap, reflects the artist's focus on local Danish culture. This work, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a fine example of Lahde's talent for capturing the character of his subjects and offering a glimpse into the everyday life of 19th-century Denmark.
