"Hus i måneskin" ("House in Moonlight") is an etching by the Dutch artist Jan Ruyscher, created sometime between 1625 and 1675. The artwork depicts a thatched-roof cottage bathed in the soft glow of moonlight. A large tree dominates the foreground, its branches reaching towards the sky, creating a sense of mystery and tranquility. The composition is simple and elegant, with a focus on the interplay of light and shadow. The etching is a testament to Ruyscher's skill as a landscape artist, capturing the beauty of the natural world with delicate precision. The piece is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
