"Horsens Fjord" (1887) is an etching by Danish artist Axel Hou. This small, intimate print, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures the serene landscape of the Horsens Fjord. Hou's precise lines and subtle shading evoke the quiet atmosphere of the water's edge, where a line of trees meets the calm expanse of the fjord. Hou's etchings are renowned for their delicate detail and masterful use of light and shadow, perfectly showcased in this evocative portrayal of a familiar Danish scene.
