Ung pige ved sin lampe, støttende hovedet i begge hænder 1899 - 1903

"Ung pige ved sin lampe, støttende hovedet i begge hænder" (Young Girl by Her Lamp, Resting Her Head in Both Hands) is a 1899 - 1903 etching by Danish artist Frans Schwartz (1850-1917). The work depicts a young woman seated, her face resting in her hands, with a lamp and other objects on a nearby table. The piece, held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Schwartz's mastery of line and shading, creating a melancholic and introspective mood. It's a fine example of his realistic style, focusing on the emotional state of his subject. The artwork is a powerful testament to the human experience of contemplation and introspection.
