"Hvad for Noget..." (What for Something...), a 1928 ink drawing by Danish artist Fritz Syberg (1862-1939), depicts a seated woman in a simple interior setting. The woman is shown knitting, with a chicken perched on a table nearby. The sketch's style is loose and expressive, capturing a moment of everyday life with a sense of quiet observation. This artwork is a testament to Syberg's skill in capturing the essence of Danish rural life, and it remains a cherished piece in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
