Adam. Christianssæde, Lolland 1887

"Adam" is a black and white etching by Danish artist Axel Schovelin, created in 1887. The print depicts a solitary, imposing oak tree in a forest clearing. The tree's gnarled trunk and expansive branches dominate the composition, creating a sense of age and grandeur. A small figure, possibly a farmer, is visible in the distance, emphasizing the tree's immense scale. This artwork, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Schovelin's mastery of etching and his appreciation for the natural world. The piece exemplifies the Romantic movement's fascination with the sublime and the power of nature.
