Canthareller 1893

"Canthareller" (1893) is a black and white etching by Danish artist Peter Ilsted. The artwork depicts a woman seated at a table with a plate of mushrooms in front of her. Her gaze is downcast as she picks at the mushrooms, her expression thoughtful and introspective. The image's composition is simple, with the woman placed in the center of the frame against a backdrop of a dimly lit room. Ilsted's skillful use of line and tone creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the woman's isolation and the quiet intimacy of the scene. The artwork is currently held in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
