Hønen og koen 1845

"Hønen og koen" (The Hen and the Cow), an 1845 lithograph by Danish artist Adolph Kittendorff, portrays a simple yet charming scene of two cows standing by a well in a rural landscape. The detailed depiction of the animals and the well, along with the surrounding foliage, highlights Kittendorff's mastery of depicting everyday life in a naturalistic and engaging manner. This work, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, exemplifies the artist's signature style, capturing the essence of rural life through meticulous detail and delicate lines.
