"Huset og haven ved havet" (The House and Garden by the Sea) is a black and white etching by Danish artist Carl Bloch, created in 1880. This artwork, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures a quiet and serene landscape, depicting a humble house nestled near a fence along a winding path leading towards a distant shoreline. Bloch's skilled use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the natural beauty of the coastal scene.
