Saa skyndte den sig afsted... 1928

"Saa skyndte den sig afsted..." (1928) is a pen-and-ink drawing by Danish artist Fritz Syberg. The artwork, currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a landscape with rolling hills and a distant body of water. The drawing style is characterized by loose, expressive lines, creating a sense of immediacy and capturing the essence of the scene. The title, which translates to "So he hurried off...", suggests a narrative element, perhaps referencing a figure or event that took place within the depicted landscape. This drawing exemplifies Syberg's interest in capturing the beauty of the natural world through his distinct, expressive style.
