En karl, der pløjer med to okser 1904

"En karl, der pløjer med to okser" (A Man Ploughing with Two Oxen) is a 1904 sculpture by Danish artist Theodor Philipsen. The sculpture, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a man guiding a pair of oxen as they plough the land. The sculpture is a testament to Philipsen’s skill in capturing the strength and grace of animals and the hard-working nature of rural life in Denmark. The work captures the dynamism of the scene, with the oxen’s powerful muscles and the man’s focused stance suggesting the exertion and dedication of their task. The sculpture’s realistic portrayal of everyday labor makes it a significant piece of Danish realist art.
