Prøveblad af landskab med brønd 1799

"Prøveblad af landskab med brønd" (1799) is a small etching by Danish artist Gerhard Ludvig Lahde (1765-1833). The artwork depicts a simple rural scene with a well in the foreground, a small figure drawing water, and a distant landscape. It is a characteristic example of Lahde's work, which is often characterized by its delicate lines and subtle depictions of nature. The etching is a sketch, or "Prøveblad", an exercise in composition and technique, rather than a finished piece. The artwork is now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection.
