Kilden 1845

"Kilden" is a simple yet evocative etching by Adolph Kittendorff, completed in 1845. The artwork depicts a rustic well with a small roof, nestled in a rural landscape. The well, positioned prominently on the right, serves as the focal point, while a winding stream meanders through the foreground, leading the eye towards a cluster of trees in the background. Kittendorff's precise linework and subtle shading create a sense of depth and atmosphere, capturing the tranquility of the natural setting. "Kilden" is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, offering a glimpse into the Danish landscape of the 19th century.
