Den strenge vinter i Faulum 1898 - 1902

"Den strenge vinter i Faulum" is an oil painting by Danish artist Hans Smidth, completed between 1898 and 1902. The painting depicts a snowy winter scene viewed from the window of a rustic interior, with two figures looking out at a man working on a windlass in the distance. The artist is known for his realist depictions of everyday life, and this work exemplifies his ability to capture the stark beauty of the Danish winter landscape. The painting's muted palette and use of light and shadow contribute to a sense of quiet contemplation. Currently, it is located in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
