En ung Moder 1875 - 1879

"En ung Moder" (A Young Mother), a black and white drawing by Danish artist F. Hendriksen, depicts a woman breastfeeding her infant while seated on a rock by the sea. The delicate lines and careful shading of this work from 1875-79 showcase Hendriksen's skill in creating a tender and intimate scene. The distant landscape, with its mountainous outline and glimpse of a small boat, provides a backdrop for the central figures, emphasizing their isolation and vulnerability. This intimate depiction of motherhood is typical of Hendriksen's work, which often explored themes of domesticity and family life.
