Kyllingerne 1843

"Kyllingerne" (The Chicks) is a delicate pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Johan Thomas Lundbye, created in 1843. The artwork depicts a hen and her chicks in a rural landscape, with a distant village in the background. Lundbye, known for his naturalistic depictions of Danish life, captures the gentle, everyday moments of farm life with a keen eye for detail and a sense of tenderness. This small-scale drawing is a charming example of Lundbye's work, showcasing his talent for capturing the essence of nature and domestic animals with a touch of humor and sensitivity.
