Pige, der sørger over et dødt lam 1823

"Pige, der sørger over et dødt lam" (Girl Mourning a Dead Lamb) is an 1823 etching by Danish artist Johan Christian Ernst Walter. The print depicts a young woman, dressed in a simple white dress, standing amidst a landscape with two trees. She appears to be mourning over a dead lamb lying on the ground. The work is characterized by its delicate lines and soft shading, typical of Walter's style, and evokes a sense of melancholic beauty. The print, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Copenhagen, is a poignant example of Walter's exploration of sentimentality and nature.
