Faster Cathrine 1886

"Faster Cathrine" is a striking etching by Niels Skovgaard, created in 1886. The artwork depicts a woman in profile, seated and gazing thoughtfully into the distance. Skovgaard’s meticulous use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and realism, highlighting the subject's features and the texture of her clothing. The dark background adds to the introspective atmosphere of the piece, drawing attention to the figure's contemplative expression. This etching, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a poignant example of Skovgaard's mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects.
