Vinterlandskab. Ved et skovhegn 1891

"Vinterlandskab. Ved et skovhegn" (Winter Landscape. By a Forest Fence) is an 1891 etching by Danish artist Thorvald Niss (1842-1905). This work, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures a quiet winter scene with a focus on the subtle details of snow-covered landscape. The composition features a narrow, snow-covered path lined by bare trees and a stone fence. The muted tones of the etching create a sense of stillness and tranquility, characteristic of Niss's style. Niss was known for his mastery of etching, and "Vinterlandskab. Ved et skovhegn" exemplifies his keen eye for detail and nuanced depiction of light and shadow.
