"En glad fisker" (A Happy Fisherman) is a lithograph created by Adolph Kittendorff between 1881 and 1901. The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a smiling, weathered man, likely a fisherman, seated with a pipe in hand. His worn clothing and the humble table with simple utensils suggest a life of labor and modest pleasures. This intimate portrait captures the artist's keen observation of everyday life and highlights the enduring human spirit.
