Indkørsel til et herresæde 1796

"Indkørsel til et herresæde" (Driveway to a Mansion) is an etching by Danish artist Heinrich Christian Schumacher, dating back to 1796. The piece, currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures a serene rural scene. The focus is on a grand estate entrance framed by lush trees, with figures walking through the driveway, offering a glimpse into daily life in the late 18th century. The composition, rendered in delicate lines, showcases Schumacher's mastery of the etching technique, characteristic of his extensive portfolio of Danish landscapes.
