Bonden på isen 1928

Fritz Syberg's "Bonden på isen" (The Farmer on the Ice), a 1928 watercolor and ink drawing, depicts a solitary figure kneeling on a frozen lake. The artist, known for his depictions of Danish countryside life, captures a moment of quiet contemplation. The sketch-like quality of the work emphasizes the simplicity and serenity of the scene. The pale pink hues of the sky and the delicate lines of the trees create a sense of peace and tranquility. This artwork, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into Syberg's observational style and his affinity for the natural world.
