Et bondeslagsmål 1751 - 1817

"Et bondeslagsmål" (A Peasant Brawl), an etching created by Georg Haas between 1751 and 1817, is a small, yet powerful depiction of a violent encounter between three individuals. The scene, contained within a delicate frame, portrays a dynamic struggle, with the figures engaged in a fierce, physically charged fight. The artist's use of line and shading effectively captures the intensity of the moment, highlighting the raw emotions and desperate energy of the brawl. The work, held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Haas's ability to capture the rawness of human conflict, a theme often explored in his work.
