Kåde heste 1865 - 1887

"Kåde heste" (Frisky Horses) is an oil painting by Danish artist M. Therkildsen, created between 1865 and 1887. The painting depicts two horses in a rural setting, with one horse being led by a man, the other rearing up in a playful manner. A pig and ducks add to the lively scene, creating a sense of rustic charm. The painting's realism captures the energy and vitality of farm life in Denmark. Currently located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, "Kåde heste" is a fine example of Therkildsen's skill in portraying animals and their interactions with humans in a natural and engaging way.
