"Augustaften" (August Evening), an etching by Danish artist Valdemar Schønheyder Møller (1864-1905), depicts a serene landscape with a line of trees silhouetted against a pale sky. The artwork, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Møller's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow, creating a peaceful and atmospheric scene characteristic of the Danish Golden Age.
