Manden der bøjer sig over hjortekiddet og peger mod en hund 1858

"Manden der bøjer sig over hjortekiddet og peger mod en hund" is a pencil sketch by Danish artist P.C. Skovgaard created in 1858. The drawing, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a man bending over a fawn while gesturing toward a dog. Skovgaard's quick and expressive lines capture the dynamic movement of the figures and the animal's delicate form. This seemingly simple composition reveals the artist's fascination with nature and the intimate connection between humans and animals, a common theme in his work.
