Huset i skoven 1849

"Huset i skoven" (The House in the Forest) is a pen and ink drawing created in 1849 by Danish artist Vilhelm Kyhn. The artwork depicts a small, simple house nestled within a dense forest. A winding path leads through the trees towards the house, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The detailed rendering of the trees and foliage, along with the solitary figure visible near the house, evokes a sense of quiet solitude and contemplation. Kyhn's precise style and masterful use of light and shade are evident in this piece, which is a fine example of Danish Romantic Realism. The drawing is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
