Men det vilde blive alt for bedrøveligt... 1928

"Men det vilde blive alt for bedrøveligt..." (But it would be too sad...), created in 1928 by Danish artist Fritz Syberg, is a pen and ink drawing depicting a simple landscape under a moonlit sky. The artist utilizes expressive, diagonal lines to create a sense of movement and depth in the sky, while the sparse, almost minimalist rendering of the landscape suggests a feeling of solitude and tranquility. The artwork is characteristic of Syberg’s later style, which often featured natural landscapes rendered with a sense of poetic realism. This work, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a beautiful example of Syberg's mastery of line and composition.
