Trivet 1935 - 1942

"Trivet" is a graphite drawing on paper by Danish artist Holger Hansen (1855 - 1995) depicting a cast iron trivet. Created sometime between 1935 and 1942, the drawing presents two perspectives of the trivet. One is an overhead view of the trivet's circular base and decorative handle, while the second shows it at an angle. The artist has meticulously captured the intricate details of the object, including the floral design that adorns its surface. This work showcases Hansen's interest in everyday objects and their potential for artistic representation.
