Maskerade 1839 - 1902

"Maskerade" is a black and white etching by Danish artist Vilhelm Kyhn, created between 1839 and 1902. The artwork depicts a lively scene of a masquerade ball, with numerous figures dressed in elaborate costumes and masks. The scene is framed by a decorative archway with an anchor and the word "Maskerade" inscribed. Kyhn's etching captures the energy and excitement of a masquerade ball, highlighting the anonymity and revelry associated with such events. The work is now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
