Vinter vandløb ved en skov 1842 - 1905

Thorvald Niss's etching "Vinter vandløb ved en skov" (Winter Stream by a Forest) is a striking example of Danish landscape art, capturing the serene beauty of a snowy winter scene. The etching, created between 1842 and 1905, showcases Niss's masterful use of line and shadow to depict a winding stream bordered by snow-covered hills and trees, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The inclusion of a simple fence in the foreground adds a touch of human presence, highlighting the contrast between the wildness of nature and the ordered world of human civilization.
