Hoved af ældre kone og et svin 1863

"Hoved af ældre kone og et svin" (Head of an Old Woman and a Pig) is an etching by Danish artist Otto Haslund, created in 1863. This small artwork, measuring only 47 mm by 62 mm, depicts a pig in the foreground and an older woman's head obscured by foliage in the background. The use of etching, a technique where acid is used to create lines on a metal plate, provides a delicate and detailed rendering of the subjects. This work, currently located in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Haslund's talent for capturing the essence of everyday life, with a focus on rural scenes and animal subjects.
