Mikel Glisner 1821

This 1821 etching by Danish artist Ernst Meyer depicts a peasant man standing in profile, holding a cup and a jug. The image is a study in realism and captures the details of his clothing and posture with precision. The simple composition and minimalist use of lines create a sense of immediacy, inviting the viewer to observe the man in his daily life. The artwork, titled "Mikel Glisner," showcases Meyer's talent for capturing the essence of ordinary people, making it a poignant example of social realism in 19th-century art. The work is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
