Udkant af en skov 1847

"Udkant af en skov" (Edge of a Forest), an etching by Danish artist Vilhelm Kyhn, is a classic example of 19th-century landscape art. Created in 1847, the piece showcases Kyhn's meticulous attention to detail and realistic depiction of nature. The print features a serene forest scene, with a dense cluster of trees dominating the foreground and a distant horizon visible in the background. The light and airy quality of the sky, depicted with delicate lines, suggests a gentle and tranquil atmosphere. This etching, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers viewers a glimpse into the beauty of the Danish countryside through Kyhn's skillful artistry.
