En jordefærd 1845

"En jordefærd" (1845) by Danish artist Axel Theodor Kittendorff (1821-1868) depicts a somber scene of a funeral procession. A man carries a coffin, while a young girl follows behind, her face obscured by her hand. The image, now held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies the artist's focus on everyday life and the complexities of human emotion, captured through fine detail and expressive lines. This poignant illustration, likely created for a publication, underscores the universality of grief and loss in 19th-century Danish society.
