To sæler 1856 - 1933

"To sæler" (Two Seals) is a woodcut created by Danish artist Joakim Skovgaard between 1856 and 1933, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The artwork depicts two seals partially submerged in choppy water, their heads and backs visible. Skovgaard's distinct style, characterized by bold lines and stark contrasts, is evident in this piece. The simple composition and the emphasis on the natural world reflect a focus on realism and observation, typical of the 19th-century Danish art scene.
