"En Fos" is an 1839 etching by Danish artist Søren Henrik Petersen (1788-1860) depicting a picturesque water mill and a rushing river. The piece, currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, captures the bucolic beauty of a rural landscape, showcasing Petersen's meticulous attention to detail in rendering the flowing water, wooded backdrop, and quaint structures. This etching exemplifies Petersen's mastery of the medium and his penchant for depicting the natural world.
