Regnvejr i bondegården 1891

"Regnvejr i bondegården" (Rainy weather in the farmhouse), painted in 1891 by Danish artist Vilhelm Kyhn, depicts a simple yet evocative scene. The painting, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases a farmyard, where a cart stands partially sheltered under a roof. The dim light and the presence of hens and ducks contribute to a sense of quietude and isolation. The image evokes a sense of everyday life in a rural setting, capturing the intimate details of the farmhouse and the calm atmosphere of a rainy day. This small-scale work highlights Kyhn's ability to create impactful scenes using subtle brushstrokes and a restrained palette.
