"Aftenlandskab" (Evening Landscape) is a 1915 etching by Danish artist Peter Ilsted, known for his atmospheric landscapes. The artwork, now in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases a rural scene dominated by a group of trees silhouetted against a pale, sunset sky. The composition, characterized by simplicity and a subtle play of light and shadow, exemplifies Ilsted's artistic approach to capturing the beauty of the Danish countryside.
