Høns 1899

"Høns" (1899) is a etching by Danish artist Søren Lund (1852-1933). The small-scale print depicts a group of chickens in a barnyard setting, rendered in delicate, detailed lines. Lund was known for his realistic depictions of animals, often focusing on the everyday lives of farm animals. This etching, now in the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies his keen observation and mastery of the etching technique.
