En tyrekalv bundet til en ledstolpe 1844

This pen and ink drawing by Johan Thomas Lundbye, titled "En tyrekalv bundet til en ledstolpe" (A Bull Calf Tied to a Post), depicts a calf tied to a post in a rural landscape. Created in 1844, the artwork captures the detailed anatomy of the animal and the textures of the surrounding environment, showcasing Lundbye’s masterful use of line and shading. The artist, known for his realistic depictions of Danish rural life, presents a poignant scene of animal restraint and the quiet solitude of the countryside, creating a connection to the everyday experiences of rural communities in Denmark. This drawing, now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection, exemplifies Lundbye's signature style and his contribution to the Danish Golden Age of art.
