"View Near Copenhagen" is a watercolor painting by Danish artist Christen Købke, created between 1841 and 1845. The artwork, currently located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures a serene Danish landscape with a focus on the sky and a line of windmills silhouetted against the horizon. The subtle brushstrokes and muted color palette create a sense of tranquility, characteristic of Købke's style, known for its realistic depictions of Danish scenery.
