"En Duel" (1846) by Axel Theodor Kittendorff (1821-1868) depicts a dramatic scene of two men locked in a duel. The print, housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Kittendorff's skill in capturing the tension and intensity of the encounter. The meticulous detail in the figures' attire and the desolate landscape creates a poignant atmosphere. This intimate black and white drawing exemplifies the artist's exploration of human drama and the social conventions of 19th-century Denmark.
