"Horsens" is an 1823 aquatint by Danish artist Søren L. Lange (1760-1828), depicting the town of Horsens, Denmark. This detailed view showcases the town's architecture, including a church spire and a windmill, as well as the surrounding landscape with a river and figures engaged in rural activities. The scene is rendered in a realistic style, capturing the beauty and tranquility of the Danish countryside. This aquatint, currently held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a glimpse into the early 19th-century life in Horsens.
