Odin på Sleipuir. Vindfløjen på Vallekilde højskole 1856 - 1933

"Odin på Sleipuir. Vindfløjen på Vallekilde højskole" (Odin on Sleipnir. The Weather Vane at Vallekilde Folk High School) is a drawing by Danish artist Joakim Skovgaard, executed between 1856 and 1933. The drawing, now held at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a design for a weather vane featuring Odin, the Norse god, riding his eight-legged steed Sleipnir. The design is drawn in grey tones against a light background, with the central figure of Odin and Sleipnir standing out in silhouette. This study provides insight into the process of Skovgaard's artistic design for the Vallekilde Folk High School, a center of Danish cultural and educational life.
