Det unge Føl og Bonden 1760

"Det unge Føl og Bonden" (The Young Colt and the Farmer), a 1760 etching by Danish artist Alexia von Lode, portrays a farmer leading a young colt through a snowy courtyard, with a building in the background. The scene evokes a sense of rural life and the bond between humans and animals. The delicate lines and detailed textures are characteristic of Lode's work, which often depicted everyday scenes and the natural world. This etching, now housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases the artist's talent for capturing both the beauty and the simple realities of life in the countryside.
