Hestehaven 1902

"Hestehaven" (Horse Meadow), a 1902 etching by Danish artist Niels Skovgaard, presents a tranquil woodland scene. The composition features a dense grove of trees rendered in detailed, tonal strokes, suggesting the play of light and shadow. The trees are depicted from a low vantage point, their branches forming a canopy overhead. The landscape, with its gently sloping ground and sparse vegetation, evokes a sense of peaceful solitude. This artwork is characteristic of Skovgaard's interest in capturing the essence of the natural world and is a testament to his mastery of etching techniques.
