"En bondestue" (1848) by Danish artist H.J. Hammer (1815-1882), showcases a typical scene of everyday life in a farmhouse. This genre painting, now held at the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), depicts a woman in a dimly lit room tending to a basket while chickens wander around her. Hammer's attention to detail in portraying the interior of the farmhouse and its inhabitants creates a sense of realism, immersing the viewer in the quiet domesticity of a rural setting.
