En ridder i et vinfad 1825 - 1893

"En ridder i et vinfad" (A knight in a wine vat) is an 1825 - 1893 woodcut by Danish artist Balzer Dahl (1825-1893), currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. This small-scale work, measuring only 128 mm by 127 mm, depicts a knight, clad in armor, slumped inside a wine vat, seemingly intoxicated. The scene is set in a dimly lit room, with two figures observing from a doorway in the background. Dahl's use of intricate lines and hatchings creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the knight's comical plight. This humorous, satirical image showcases Dahl's talent for capturing everyday scenes with wit and detail, making it a notable piece in his oeuvre.
