Kladde til et barns danske stil 1895 - 1896

"Kladde til et barns danske stil" (Draft for a Child's Danish Essay) is a small-scale drawing on paper by the Danish artist Fritz Syberg, dated 1895-1896. This work is a sketch of a child's handwritten essay about a stormy day. The viewer can see the delicate lines and cursive script of the young author, who is describing the weather and their experience during the storm. Syberg's focus on everyday life and the child's perspective in this piece exemplifies his artistic style, a movement known as the "Danish Golden Age," which was characterized by naturalism, emotional depth, and a focus on daily life. This drawing, now a part of the collection at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, provides an intimate glimpse into the world of childhood in late 19th century Denmark.
