Undervisning på landet 1894

"Undervisning på landet" (1894) by Danish artist Axel Helsted (1847-1907) is a depiction of a teacher, likely a clergyman, instructing a young boy outdoors. The scene unfolds beneath a tree, with a tranquil sea in the background, emphasizing the idyllic setting. Helsted's meticulous style, characteristic of Danish Realism, is evident in the detailed depiction of the figures and their clothing, conveying a sense of quiet intimacy. This work, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures a moment of education in the Danish countryside.
