"Et æsel, plaget af fluer" (A Donkey Plagued by Flies) is a lithograph created in 1834 by Danish artist Johan Thomas Lundbye. The artwork depicts a donkey standing in profile with a halter, its head lowered and its fur ruffled, suggesting annoyance by a swarm of flies. This realist depiction is typical of Lundbye's animal studies, showcasing his keen observation of nature and the nuances of animal behavior. The lithograph, now held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a glimpse into the artist's talent for capturing the everyday moments of rural life in Denmark.
