Skovrydning. Aften 1842 - 1905

"Skovrydning. Aften" (Forest Clearing. Evening) is a 19th-century etching by Danish artist Thorvald Niss. The artwork depicts a clearing in a forest under a moonlit sky. The use of dark tones and fine lines creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the contrast between light and shadow. The lone figure in the foreground adds a sense of scale and isolation to the scene. This work is a fine example of Niss's use of etching to create atmospheric landscapes, capturing the beauty of a natural setting under the influence of light. The work is part of the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
