Drengen fra Vradinge 1906

This ink drawing, "Drengen fra Vradinge" (The Boy from Vradinge), was created in 1906 by the Danish artist Niels Skovgaard (1858-1938). The drawing features a stylized depiction of an elderly woman in a traditional dress and a young boy standing in a field. The woman is depicted with a walking stick and appears to be talking to the boy, who is holding a long stick. The artist’s use of quick, gestural lines gives the drawing a sense of dynamism and captures the informal charm of the scene. The drawing is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
