En bondestue 1765 - 1865

Jens Petersen Lund's "En bondestue" (1765-1865) is a graphite drawing depicting the interior of a peasant's home. The drawing, held at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Lund's attention to detail in capturing the rustic charm of a typical Danish farmhouse. The simple, yet carefully rendered, lines and light shading convey the feeling of a lived-in space, with a focus on the architectural elements, furniture, and everyday objects. The drawing's intimate scale (264 mm x 421 mm) invites viewers to appreciate the nuances of rural Danish life in the 18th century.
