Havhesten 1910 - 1911

"Havhesten" (The Sea Horse) is a 1910-1911 sculpture by Danish artist Niels Skovgaard (1858-1938) and is currently on display at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The sculpture depicts a stylized seahorse in a rounded, almost abstract form, perched upon a circular base, which gives it a sense of balance and stability. Its rough, textured surface adds to the sculpture's naturalistic appeal and its earthy tone further emphasizes its connection to the natural world.
