Billede 8 1838

"Billede 8" (1838) by Lorenz Frølich is a pen-and-ink drawing depicting a hunter and a young boy standing in a wooded clearing. The hunter holds a rifle and appears to be aiming at a large, sleeping dog lying in the foreground. The boy covers his ears, suggesting an anticipation of the gunshot. The scene, executed in a realistic style, provides a glimpse into rural life in 19th-century Denmark and the hunting tradition of the time. The work is housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen.
