Kvindeportræt 1929

"Kvindeportræt" (Woman Portrait), a 1929 etching by Danish artist Henry Nielsen, captures a close-up portrait of a woman. The stark contrast between black and white ink creates a sense of depth and emotion, highlighting the subject's pensive gaze and the expressive lines of her face. The artwork exemplifies Nielsen's characteristic use of bold, expressive lines, which he developed during his short but impactful career, tragically cut short by his early death in 1937. Located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, the etching is a testament to Nielsen's talent in capturing the human form with a captivating blend of realism and abstraction.
