"Børn der stjæler æbler" (Children Stealing Apples) is a lithograph by Danish artist Axel Theodor Kittendorff, created in 1846. The artwork depicts a humorous scene of children caught stealing apples, with a stern-looking man peering down from above and another boy acting as lookout. This lithograph, held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, exemplifies Kittendorff's skill in capturing everyday life and social commentary through his delicate lines and detailed portrayal of character. It is a charming example of Danish art from the mid-19th century, highlighting the artist's ability to portray both the mischief of youth and the watchful eyes of authority.
