Dråby Mølle 1882

"Dråby Mølle" is a delicate etching by Danish artist Louise Ravn-Hansen, created in 1882. The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a windmill standing prominently in the distance amidst a vast, cultivated landscape. The detailed rendering of clouds in the sky and the meticulously etched furrows of the field reveal Ravn-Hansen's mastery of line and her ability to capture the quiet beauty of the Danish countryside. The artwork, with its subtle tonal variations and delicate lines, invites viewers to contemplate the tranquil atmosphere of rural life in 19th-century Denmark.
