Bonden ved den frosne sø 1928

"Bonden ved den frosne sø" (The Farmer by the Frozen Lake) is a 1928 ink drawing by Danish artist Fritz Syberg. The piece, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a lone farmer walking along the edge of a frozen lake. Syberg captures the stark beauty of the Danish winter landscape with his characteristic expressive lines and detailed, almost Impressionistic approach to nature. This intimate drawing demonstrates the artist's interest in capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people, particularly those connected to the land.
