Vinter i skoven 1871

"Vinter i skoven" (Winter in the Forest), an etching created in 1871 by Danish artist Edvard Petersen (1841-1911), depicts a serene winter scene. The print showcases a path winding through a dense forest, with bare trees lining the way. The composition emphasizes the stark beauty of winter, with the delicate lines of the branches contrasting against the white of the snow-covered ground. Currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, this work is a testament to Petersen's talent for capturing the subtle nuances of nature in his art.
