Portræt af min moder 1900 - 1943

"Portræt af min moder" (Portrait of My Mother) is an etching created by Danish artist Axel Hou between 1900 and 1943. Hou, known for his sensitive depictions of everyday life, captures the likeness of his mother in a contemplative pose. The work, now part of the collection at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases the artist's masterful use of line and shading to convey both physical and emotional detail. The etching's intimate scale, measuring just 197 mm by 158 mm, adds to its personal and poignant quality.
