I udkanten af en egeskov en tidlig forårsmorgen 1863

"I udkanten af en egeskov en tidlig forårsmorgen" (On the Edge of an Oak Forest on an Early Spring Morning) is an 1863 oil painting by Danish artist Janus la Cour. The painting depicts a serene forest scene with bare-branched oak trees and a winding path leading into the woods. The subtle sunlight illuminating the forest floor creates a peaceful and melancholic atmosphere, characteristic of la Cour's style, which often captured the beauty and solitude of the Danish countryside. Now housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, the painting's realism and attention to detail exemplify la Cour's mastery of landscape painting.
