Et hestehoved 1892

"Et hestehoved" is a black and white etching created by Hans Christian Gether Caspersen in 1892. The artwork depicts the head and neck of a horse looking directly at the viewer. The horse is shown with its head peeking over a fence, creating a sense of intimacy and curiosity. The delicate details and use of light and shadow, characteristic of Caspersen's style, give the animal a lifelike quality. The etching is a fine example of the artist's skilled use of line and tone to capture the essence of his subject. The piece, held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Caspersen's talent for animal portraiture, and exemplifies the Danish artist's contribution to the art of etching in the late 19th century.
