Lammene 1845

"Lammene," created in 1845 by Adolph Kittendorff, depicts a megalithic tomb, or dolmen, a type of prehistoric monument commonly found in Europe. The drawing, part of the collection at the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), is a meticulous study of the structure, rendered in graphite and showcasing Kittendorff's meticulous detail and interest in archaeological subjects. The work is a testament to the artist's fascination with ancient cultures and their enduring presence in the landscape.
