Lækatten 1843

"Lækatten," a pen and ink drawing by Danish artist Johan Thomas Lundbye, depicts a white weasel nestled against a rock formation, its fur and the foliage rendered in delicate detail. The subtle shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. Lundbye, known for his animal studies, created this work in 1843, showcasing his talent for capturing the essence of nature. The drawing, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the artist's keen observation of the natural world.
