Aftenlandskab ved en smedie 1890s

"Aftenlandskab ved en smedie" is an etching by Danish artist August Jerndorff, created in the 1890s. The artwork, now located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a serene evening landscape. A single-story building with a chimney emitting smoke is visible to the left, with two trees framing the composition. The etching's dark tones and delicate lines create a mood of quiet contemplation, typical of Jerndorff's artistic style. The reflective water in the foreground further enhances the tranquil atmosphere, hinting at a gentle evening breeze. This small-scale etching, measuring 158 mm x 98 mm, demonstrates Jerndorff's mastery of the medium and his talent for capturing the subtle beauty of the Danish countryside.
