Køreturen; Bien 1845

"Køreturen; Bien" is an 1845 lithograph by Danish artist Adolph Kittendorff (1820-1902) that is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. This work displays two vignettes separated by white space. The first depicts a woman with a small dog, the second a man standing on a bench with several straw hats draped over other benches. This work is characteristic of Kittendorff's use of lithography to capture the scenes of everyday life in Denmark. The simplicity of the composition and the fine detail of the figures and surroundings are hallmarks of Kittendorff's unique style.
