Skovrydning. Aften 1842 - 1905

"Skovrydning. Aften" (Clearing. Evening), an etching by Danish artist Thorvald Niss, portrays a stark landscape of a clearing in a forest, with a single figure silhouetted against a dramatic sky. The artwork, created between 1842 and 1905, showcases Niss's mastery of etching, evident in the detailed depiction of the trees and the moody atmosphere. The focus on the lone figure amidst the vastness of the clearing evokes a sense of solitude and contemplation, making it a poignant and introspective piece of art.
