"Et traktørsted" is a pencil drawing created by Niels Larsen Stevns in 1881. The drawing depicts a small, quaint cottage with a thatched roof and a wooden fence. The artist has captured the simplicity of the building and its surroundings with a delicate touch. The loose, sketchy style of the drawing is characteristic of Stevns' early work. This drawing, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is an excellent example of Stevns' skill in capturing the essence of Danish rural life.
