En vædder 1748 - 1831

"En vædder" (The Ram) is an etching created by Danish artist J.F. Clemens in 1748. The detailed artwork features a ram standing in a field, its massive horns and woolly coat rendered in a realistic style. This etching, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a fine example of Clemens' mastery of the etching technique and his keen eye for detail. The artwork showcases the ram in a natural setting, with a landscape that includes a distant church and a few trees. Clemens's skill in depicting the animal's anatomy and texture is evident in this miniature-sized work. This etching is a testament to the artist's talent for capturing the beauty and complexity of the natural world in a precise and evocative way.
