Skaden 1845

"Skaden", created by Adolph Kittendorff in 1845, is a detailed pen and ink drawing that depicts a rural scene in Denmark. The artwork shows a man with two horses harnessed to a cart, standing outside a barn with a ladder and a bird perched on a small stand, suggesting a quiet moment in the daily life of a rural farm. Kittendorff, known for his detailed representations of Danish landscapes and daily life, captures the simplicity and authenticity of rural life in this piece. The artwork, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers viewers a glimpse into the Danish countryside of the 19th century.
