Skraldemandshesten 1845

"Skraldemandshesten" (The Garbage Man's Horse) is a 1845 lithograph by Danish artist Adolph Kittendorff. The image depicts a man in a top hat standing next to a cart pulled by two horses. The cart is full of what appears to be garbage, likely representing the daily routine of the "Skraldemand" or garbage collector, a common sight in 19th-century Copenhagen. The artwork is a detailed and realistic portrayal of urban life in Denmark, capturing the details of the street and the everyday workers. The piece can be found at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
